Creation  of  the  World 
Genesis  1 :  1-19 

1  IN  the  beginning  God  created  the 
heaven  and  the  earth. 

2  And  the  earth  was  without  form, 
and  void ;  and  darkness  was  upon 
the  face  of  the  deep.  And  the  Spirit  of 
God  moved  upon  the  face  of  the  waters. 

3  And  God  said,  Let  there  be  light: 
and  there  was  light. 

4  And  God  saw  the  light,  that  it  was 
good :  and  God  divided  the  light  from 
the  darkness. 

5  And  God  called  the  light  Day,  and 
the  darkness  he  called  Night.  And  the 
evening  and  the  morning  were  the  first 
day. 

6  If  And  God  said,  Let  there  be  a  firma- 
ment in  the  midst  of  the  waters,  and  let 
it  divide  the  waters  from  the  waters. 

7  And  God  made  the  firmament,  and 
divided  the  waters  which  were  under 
the  firmament  from  the  waters  which 
were  above  the  firmament :  and  it  was 
so. 

8  And  God  called  the  firmament 
Heaven.  And  the  evening  and  the 
morning  were  the  second  day. 

9  H  And  God  said,  Let  the  waters 
under  the  heaven  be  gathered  together 
unto  one  place,  and  let  the  dry  land 
appear :    and  it  was  so. 

10  And  God  called  the  dry  land  Earth ; 
and  the  gathering  together  of  the  waters 
called  he  Seas :  and  God  saw  that  it  was 
good. 

11  And  God  said,  Let  the  earth  bring 
forth  grass,  the  herb  yielding  seed,  and 
the    fruit   tree   yielding   fruit   after   his 


kind,  whose  seed  is  in  itself,  upon  the 
earth  :    and  it  was  so. 

12  And  the  earth  brought  forth  grass, 
and  herb  yielding  seed  after  his  kind, 
and  the  tree  yielding  fruit,  whose  seed 
was  in  itself,  after  his  kind :  and  God 
saw  that  it  was  good. 

13  And  the  evening  and  the  morning 
were  the  third  day. 

14  H  And  God  said,  Let  there  be  lights 
in  the  firmament  of  the  heaven  to  divide 
the  day  from  the  night ;  and  let  them  be 
for  signs,  and  for  seasons,  and  for  days, 
and  years : 

15  And  let  them  be  for  lights  in  the 
firmament  of  the  heaven  to  give  light 
upon  the  earth :    and  it  was  so. 

16  And  God  made  two  great  lights; 
the  greater  light  to  rule  the  day,  and  the 
lesser  light  to  rule  the  night:  he  made 
the  stars  also. 

17  And  God  set  them  in  the  firmament 
of  the  heaven  to  give  light  upon  the 
earth, 

18  And  to  rule  over  the  day  and  over 
the  night,  and  to  divide  the  light  from 
the  darkness:  and  God  saw  that  it  was 
good. 

19  And  the  evening  and  the  morning 
were  the  fourth  day.

Creation  of  Man 
Genesis  1 :  20-31 

20  AND  God  said,  Let  the  waters 
bring  forth  abundantly  the  moving  crea- 
ture that  hath  life,  and  fowl  that  may 
fly  above  the  earth  in  the  open  firma- 
ment of  heaven, 


1Responstx>e  IReafctnas 


21  And  God  created  great  whales,  and 
every  living  creature  that  moveth,  which 
the  waters  brought  forth  abundantly, 
after  their  kind,  and  every  winged  fowl 
after  his  kind :  and  God  saw  that  it  was 
good. 

22  And  God  blessed  them,  saying,  Be 
fruitful,  and  multiply,  and  fill  the  waters 
in  the  seas,  and  let  fowl  multiply  in  the 
earth. 

23  And  the  evening  and  the  morning 
were  the  fifth  day. 

24  If  And  God  said,  Let  the  earth  bring 
forth  the  living  creature  after  his  kind, 
cattle,  and  creeping  thing,  and  beast  of 
the  earth  after  his  kind :   and  it  was  so. 

25  And  God  made  the  beast  of  the 
earth  after  his  kind,  and  cattle  after  their 
kind,  and  everything  that  creepeth  upon 
the  earth  after  his  kind :  and  God  saw 
that  it  was  good. 

26  If  And  God  said,  Let  us  make  man 
in  our  image,  after  our  likeness :  and  let 
them  have  dominion  over  the  fish  of 
the  sea,  and  over  the  fowl  of  the  air, 
and  over  the  cattle,  and  over  all  the 
earth,  and  over  every  creeping  thing  that 
creepeth  upon  the  earth. 

27  So  God  created  man  in  his  own 
image,  in  the  image  of  God  created  he 
him ;    male  and  female  created  he  them. 

28  And  God  blessed  them,  and  God 
said  unto  them,  Be  fruitful,  and  multiply, 
and  replenish  the  earth,  and  subdue  it : 
and  have  dominion  over  the  fish  of  the 
sea,  and  over  the  fowl  of  the  air,  and 
over  every  living  thing  that  moveth  upon 
the  earth. 

29  If  And  God  said,  Behold,  I  have 
given  you  every  herb  bearing  seed,  which 
is  upon  the  face  of  all  the  earth,  and 
every  tree,  in  the  which  is  the  fruit  of 
a  tree  yielding  seed;  to  you  it  shall  be 
for  meat. 

30  And  to  every  beast  of  the  earth, 
and  to  every  fowl  of  the  air,  and  to 
every  thing  that  creepeth  upon  the  earth, 


wherein  there  is  life,  /  have  given  every 
green  herb  for  meat :  and  it  was  so. 

31  And  God  saw  every  thing  that  he 
had  made,  and,  behold,  it  zvas  very 
good.  And  the  evening  and  the  morning 
were  the  sixth  day.

The  Great  Flood 

Genesis    VI 15-14;    VII:  5-10   and    17-24 

6:  5  If  AND  God  saw  that  the  wicked- 
ness of  man  was  great  in  the  earth,  and 
that  every  imagination  of  the  thoughts 
of  his  heart  was  only  evil  continually. 

6  And  it  repented  the  Lord  that  he  had 
made  man  on  the  earth,  and  it  grieved 
him  at  his  heart. 

7  And  the  Lord  said,  I  will  destroy 
man  whom  I  have  created  from  the  face 
of  the  earth;  both  man,  and  beast,  and 
the  creeping  thing,  and  the  fowls  of  the 
air ;  for  it  repenteth  me  that  I  have  made 
them. 

8  But  Noah  found  grace  in  the  eyes  of 
the  Lord. 

9  If  These  are  the  generations  of  Noah  : 
Noah  was  a  just  man  and  perfect  in  his 
generations,  and  Noah  walked  with  God. 

10  And  Noah  begat  three  sons,  Shem, 
Ham,  and  Japheth. 

11  The  earth  also  was  corrupt  before 
God;  and  the  earth  was  filled  with  vio- 
lence. 

12  And  God  looked  upon  the  earth, 
and,  behold,  it  was  corrupt;  for  all  flesh 
had  corrupted  his  way  upon  the  earth. 

13  And  God  said  unto  Noah,  The  end 
of  all  flesh  is  come  before  me;  for  the 
earth  is  filled  with  violence  through 
them;  and,  behold,  I  will  destroy  them 
with  the  earth. 

14  If  Make  thee  an  ark  of  gopher 
wood;  rooms  shalt  thou  make  in  the 
ark,  and  shalt  pitch  it  within  and  with- 
out with  pitch.

7 :  5  And  Noah  did  according  unto  all 
that  the  Lord  commanded  him. 

6  And  Noah  was  six  hundred  years 
old  when  the  flood  of  waters  was  upon 
the  earth. 

7  HAnd  Noah  went  in,  and  his  sons, 
and  his  wife,  and  his  sons'  wives  with 
him,  into  the  ark,  because  of  the  waters 
of  the  flood. 

8  Of  clean  beasts,  and  of  beasts  that 
are  not  clean,  and  of  fowls,  and  of  every 
thing  that  creepeth  upon  the  earth, 

9  There  went  in  two  and  two  unto 
Noah  into  the  ark,  the  male  and  the 
female,  as  God  had  commanded  Noah. 

io  And  it  came  to  pass  after  seven 
days,  that  the  waters  of  the  flood  were 
upon  the  earth. 


17  And  the  flood  was  forty  days  upon 
the  earth ;  and  the  waters  increased,  and 
bare  up  the  ark,  and  it  was  lifted  up 
above  the  earth. 

18  And  the  waters  prevailed,  and  were 
increased  greatly  upon  the  earth;  and 
the  ark  went  upon  the  face  of  the 
waters. 

19  And  the  waters  prevailed  exceed- 
ingly upon  the  earth;  and  all  the  high 
hills,  that  were  under  the  whole  heaven 
were  covered. 

20  Fifteen  cubits  upward  did  the 
waters  prevail ;  and  the  mountains  were 
covered. 

21  And  all  flesh  died  that  moved  upon 
the  earth,  both  of  fowl,  and  of  cattle, 
and  of  beast,  and  of  every  creeping 
thing  that  creepeth  upon  the  earth,  and 
every  man : 

22  All  in  whose  nostrils  was  the  breath 
of  life,  of  all  that  was  in  the  dry  land, 
died. 

23  And  every  living  substance  was  de- 
stroyed which  was  upon  the  face  of  the 
ground,  both  man,  and  cattle,  and  the 
creeping   things,    and    the    fowl   of   the 


heaven;  and  they  were  destroyed  from 
the  earth :  and  Noah  only  remained  alive, 
and  they  that  were  with  him  in  the  ark. 
24  And  the  waters  prevailed  upon  the 
earth  a  hundred  and  fifty  days.

The  Tower  of  Babel 
Genesis  XI :  1-9 

1  AND  the  whole  earth  was  of  one 
language,  and  of  one  speech. 

2  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  they  jour- 
neyed from  the  east,  that  they  found  a 
plain  in  the  land  of  Shinar;  and  they 
dwelt  there. 

3  And  they  said  one  to  another,  Go 
to,  let  us  make  brick,  and  burn  them 
thoroughly.  And  they  had  brick  for 
stone,  and  slime  had  they  for  mortar. 

4  And  they  said,  Go  to,  let  us  build  us 
a  city,  and  a  tower,  whose  top  may  reach 
unto  heaven ;  and  let  us  make  us  a  name, 
lest  we  be  scattered  abroad  upon  the  face 
of  the  whole  earth. 

5  And  the  Lord  came  down  to  see  the 
city  and  the  tower,  which  the  children  of 
men  builded. 

6  And  the  Lord  said,  Behold,  the 
people  is  one,  and  they  have  all  one 
language ;  and  this  they  begin  to  do :  and 
now  nothing  will  be  restrained  from 
them,  which  they  have  imagined  to  do. 

7  Go  to,  let  us  go  down,  and  there 
confound  their  language,  that  they  may 
not   understand   one  another's   speech. 

8  So  the  Lord  scattered  them  abroad 
from  thence  upon  the  face  of  all  the 
earth:  and  they  left  off  to  build  the 
city. 

9  Therefore  is  the  name  of  it  called 
Babel ;  because  the  Lord  did  there  con- 
found the  language  of  all  the  earth : 
and  from  thence  did  the  Lord  scatter 
them  abroad  upon  the  face  of  all  the 
earth.

The  Trial  of  Abraham's  Faith 
Genesis  XXII :  1-13 ;    15:18 

1  AND  it  came  to  pass  after  these 
things,  that  God  did  tempt  Abraham, 
and  said  unto  him,  Abraham:  and  he 
said,  Behold,  here  I  am. 

2  And  he  said,  Take  now  thy  son, 
thine  only  son  Isaac,  whom  thou  lovest, 
and  get  thee  into  the  land  of  Moriah ; 
and  offer  him  there  for  a  burnt  offering 
upon  one  of  the  mountains  which  I  will 
tell  thee  of. 

3  11  And  Abraham  rose  up  early  in 
the  morning  and  saddled  his  ass,  and 
took  two  of  his  young  men  with  him, 
and  Isaac  his  son,  and  clave  the  wood 
for  the  burnt  offering,  and  rose  up,  and 
went  unto  the  place  of  which  God  had 
told  him. 

4  Then  on  the  third  day  Abraham 
lifted  up  his  eyes,  and  saw  the  place  afar 
off. 

5  And  Abraham  said  unto  his  young 
men,  Abide  ye  here  with  the  ass;  and 
I  and  the  lad  will  go  yonder  and  wor- 
ship, and  come  again  to  you. 

6  And  Abraham  took  the  wood  of  the 
burnt  offering,  and  laid  it  upon  Isaac 
his  son ;  and  he  took  the  fire  in  his  hand, 
and  a  knife;  and  they  went  both  of  them 
together. 

7  And  Isaac  spake  unto  Abraham  his 
father,  and  said,  My  father :  and  he  said, 
Here  am  I,  my  son.  And  he  said,  Be- 
hold the  fire  and  the  wood :  but  where  is 
the  lamb  for  a  burnt  offering? 

8  And  Abraham  said,  My  son,  God 
will  provide  himself  a  lamb  for  a  burnti 
offering :  so  they  went  both  of  them 
together. 

9  And  they  came  to  the  place  which 
God  had  told  him  of ;  and  Abraham  built 
an  altar  there,  and  laid  the  wood  in  order, 
and  bound  Isaac  his  son,  and  laid  himi 
on  the  altar  upon  the  wood. 


10  And  Abraham  stretched  forth  his 
hand,  and  took  the  knife  to  slay  his  son. 

11  And  the  Angel  of  the  Lord  called 
unto  him  out  of  heaven,  and  said,  Abra- 
ham, Abraham :  and  he  said,  Here  am  I. 

12  And  he  said,  Lay  not  thine  hand 
upon  the  lad,  neither  do  thou  anything 
unto  him :  for  now  I  know  that  thou 
fearest  God,  seeing  thou  hast  not  with- 
held thy  son,  thine  only  son,  from  me. 

13  And  Abraham  lifted  up  his  eyes, 
and  looked,  and  behold  behind  him  a  ram 
caught  in  a  thicket  by  his  horns :  and 
Abraham  went  and  took  the  ram,  and 
offered  him  up  for  a  burnt  offering  in 
the  stead  of  his  son. 

15  If  And  the  Angel  of  the  Lord  called 
unto  Abraham  out  of  heaven  the  second 
time, 

16  And  said,  By  myself  have  I  sworn, 
saith  the  Lord,  for  because  thou  hast 
done  this  thing,  and  hast  not  withheld 
thy  son,  thine  only  son, 

17  That  in  blessing  I  will  bless  thee, 
and  in  multiplying  I  will  multiply  thy 
seed  as  the  stars  of  the  heaven,  and  as 
the  sand  which  is  upon  the  sea  shore ; 
and  thy  seed  shall  possess  the  gate  of 
his  enemies ; 

18  And  in  thy  seed  shall  all  the  na- 
tions of  the  earth  be  blessed;  because 
thou  hast  obeyed  my  voice.

Jacob's  Dream 
Genesis  XXVIII :  10-22 

10  If  AND  Jacob  went  out  from  Beer- 
sheba,  and  went  toward  Haran. 

11  And  he  lighted  upon  a  certain  place, 
and  tarried  there  all  night,  because  the 
sun  was  set ;  and  he  took  of  the  stones 
of  that  place,  and  put  them  for  his  pil- 
lows, and  lay  down  in  that  place  to  sleep. 

12  And    he    dreamed,    and    behold    a 


•(Responsive  IReaMngs 


ladder  set  up  on  the  earth,  and  the  top 
of  it  reached  to  heaven :  and  behold  the 
angels  of  God  ascending  and  descending 
on  it. 

13  And,  behold,  the  Lord  stood  above 
it,  and  said,  I  am  the  Lord  God  of  Abra- 
ham, thy  father,  and  the  God  of  Isaac : 
the  land  whereon  thou  liest,  to  thee  will 
I  give   it,   and   to   thy   seed ; 

14  And  thy  seed  shall  be  as  the  dust 
of  the  earth ;  and  thou  shalt  spread 
abroad  to  the  west,  and  to  the  east,  and 
to  the  north,  and  to  the  south  :  and  in 
thee  and  in  thy  seed  shall  all  the  families 
of  the   earth  be   blessed. 

15  And  behold,  I  am  with  thee,  and 
will  keep  thee  in  all  places  whither  thou 
goest,  and  will  bring  thee  again  into  this 
land ;  for  I  will  not  leave  thee,  until  I 
have  done  that  which  I  have  spoken  to 
thee  of. 

16  H  And  Jacob  awaked  out  of  his 
sleep,  and  he  said,  Surely  the  Lord  is 
in  this  place ;  and  I  knew  it  not. 

17  And  he  was  afraid,  and  said,  How 
dreadful  is  this  place !  this  is  none  other 
but  the  house  of  God,  and  this  is  the 
gate  of  heaven. 

18  And  Jacob  rose  up  early  in  the 
morning,  and  took  the  stone  that  he  had 
put  for  his  pillows,  and  set  it  up  for  a 
pillar,  and  poured  oil  upon  the  top 
of  it. 

19  And  he  called  the  name  of  that 
place  Beth-el :  but  the  name  of  that  city 
was  called  Luz  at  the  first. 

20  And  Jacob  vowed  a  vow,  saying,  If 
God  will  be  with  me,  and  will  keep  me 
in  this  way  that  I  go,  and  will  give  me 
bread  to  eat,  and  raiment  to  put  on, 

21  So  that  I  come  again  to  my  father's 
house  in  peace;  then  shall  the  Lord  be 
my    God : 

22  And  this  stone,  which  I  have  set  for 
a  pillar,  shall  be  God's  house:  and  of  all 
that  thou  shalt  give  me  I  will  surely  give 
the    tenth    unto    thee.

Joseph's  Coat 
Genesis    XXXVII 123-35 

23  II  AND  it  came  to  pass,  when  Joseph 
was  come  unto  his  brethren,  that  they 
stripped  Joseph  out  of  his  coat,  his  coat 
of  many  colors  that  was  on  him; 

24  And  they  took  him,  and  cast  him 
into  a  pit :  and  the  pit  was  empty,  there 
was  no  water  in  it. 

25  And  they  sat  down  to  eat  bread: 
and  they  lifted  up  their  eyes  and  looked, 
and,  behold,  a  company  of  Ishmaelites 
came  from  Gilead,  with  their  camels 
bearing  spicery  and  balm  and  myrrh, 
going  to  carry  it  down  to  Egypt. 

26  And  Judah  said  unto  his  brethren, 
What  profit  is  it  if  we  slay  our  brother, 
and  conceal   his  blood? 

27  Come,  and  let  us  sell  him  to  the 
Ishmaelites,  and  let  not  our  hand  be 
upon  him ;  for  he  is  our  brother  and 
our  flesh ;  and  his  brethren  were 
content. 

28  Then  there  passed  by  Midianites 
merchantmen ;  and  they  drew  and  lifted 
[up  Joseph  out  of  the  pit,  and  sold  Joseph 
to  the  Ishmaelites  for  twenty  pieces  of 
silver :  and  they  brought  Joseph  into 
Egypt. 

29  U  And  Reuben  returned  unto  the 
pit ;  and,  behold,  Joseph  was  not  in  the 
pit;    and  he  rent  his  clothes. 

30  And  he  returned  unto  his  brethren, 
and  said,  The  child  is  not ;  and  I,  whither 
shall  I  go? 

31  And  they  took  Joseph's  coat,  and 
killed  a  kid  of  the  goats,  and  dipped  the 
coat  in  the  blood ; 

32  And  they  sent  the  coat  of  many 
colours,  and  they  brought  it  to  their 
father;  and  said,  This  have  we  found: 
know  now  whether  it  be  thy  son's  coat 
or  no. 

33  And  he  knew  it,  and  said,  It  is  my 
son's  coat ;  an  evil  beast  hath  devoured

him;    Joseph    is    without    doubt    rent    in 
pieces. 

34  And  Jacob  rent  his  clothes,  and  put 
sackcloth  upon  his  loins,  and  mourned 
for  his  son  many  days. 

35  And  all  his  sons  and  all  his  daugh- 
ters rose  up  to  comfort  him;  but  he  re- 
fused to  be  comforted ;  and  he  said,  For 
I  will  go  down  into  the  grave  unto  my 
son  mourning.  Thus  his  father  wept  for 
him.

the  cloud  went  from  before  their  face, 
and  stood  behind  them : 

20  And  it  came  between  the  camp  of 
the  Egyptians  and  the  camp  of  Israel; 
and  it  was  a  cloud  and  darkness  to 
them,  but  it  gave  light  by  night  to  these: 
so  that  the  one  came  not  near  the  other 
all  the  night. 

21  And  Moses  stretched  out  his  hand 
over  the  sea,  and  the  Lord  caused  the 
sea  to  go  back  by  a  strong  east  wind  all 
that  night,  and  made  the  sea  dry  land, 
and  the  waters  were  divided. 

22  And  the  children  of  Israel  went  into 
the  midst  of  the  sea  upon  the  dry 
ground:  and  the  waters  were  a  wall  unto 
them  on  their  right  hand,  and  on  their 
left. 

23  If  And  the  Egyptians  pursued,  and 
went  in  after  them  to  the  midst  of  the 
sea,  even  all  Pharaoh's  horses,  his 
chariots,   and  his  horsemen. 

24  And  it  came  to  pass,  that  in  the 
morning  watch  the  Lord  looked  unto 
the  host  of  the  Egyptians  through  the 
pillar  of  fire  and  of  the  cloud,  and 
troubled  the  host  of  the  Egyptians. 

25  And  took  off  their  chariot  wheels. 


that  they  drave  them  heavily:  so  that 
the  Egyptians  said,  Let  us  flee  from  the 
face  of  Israel:  for  the  Lord  fighteth  for 
them  against  the  Egyptians. 

26  11  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Moses, 
Stretch  out  thine  hand  over  the  sea,  that 
the  waters  may  come  again  upon  the 
Egyptians,  upon  their  chariots,  and  upon 
their  horsemen. 

27  And  Moses  stretched  forth  his  hand 
over  the  sea,  and  the  sea  returned  to  his 
strength  when  the  morning  appeared; 
and  the  Egyptians  fled  against  it;  and 
the  Lord  overthrew  the  Egyptians  in  the 
midst   of  the    sea. 

28  And  the  waters  returned,  and  cov- 
ered the  chariots,  and  the  horsemen, 
and  all  the  host  of  Pharaoh  that  came 
into  the  sea  after  them ;  there  remained 
not  so  much  as  one  of  them. 

29  But  the  children  of  Israel  walked 
upon  dry  land  in  the  midst  of  the  sea ; 
and  the  waters  were  a  wall  unto  them  on 
their  right  hand,  and  on  their  left. 

30  Thus  the  Lord  saved  Israel  that  day 
out  of  the  hand  of  the  Egyptians ;  and 
Israel  saw  the  Egyptians  dead  upon  the 
sea  shore. 

31  And  Israel  saw  that  great  work 
which  the  Lord  did  upon  the  Egyptians : 
and  the  people  feared  the  Lord,  and  be- 
lieved the  Lord,  and  his  servant  Moses.

the  Lord  thy  God  brought  thee  out  thence 
through  a  mighty  hand  and  by  a 
stretched  out  arm :  therefore  the  Lord

sabbath   day.

Nebo,  to  the  top  of  Pisgah,  that  is  over 
against  Jericho:  and  the  Lord  shewed

The  Death  of  Samson 

Judges  XVI:  23-31 

3  THEN  the  lords  of  the  Philistines 
gathered  them  together  for  to  offer  a 
great  sacrifice  unto  Dagon  their  god, 
and  to  rejoice:  for  they  said,  Our  god

hath   delivered    Samson  our   enemy  into 
our  hand. 

24  And  when  the  people  saw  him,  they 
praised  their  god :  for  they  said,  Our  god 
hath  delivered  into  our  hands  our  enemy, 
and  the  destroyer  of  our  country,  which 
slew  many  of  us. 

25  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  their 
hearts  were  merry,  that  they  said,  Call 
for  Samson,  that  he  may  make  us  sport. 
And  they  called  for  Samson  out  of  the 
prison  house ;  and  he  made  them  sport : 
and  they  set  him  between  the  pillars. 

26  And  Samson  said  unto  the  lad  that 
held  him  by  the  hand,  Suffer  me  that  I 
may  feel  the  pillars  whereupon  the 
house  standeth,  that  I  may  lean  upon 
them. 

27  Now  the  house  was  full  of  men  and 
women ;  and  all  the  lords  of  Philistines 
were  there ;  and  there  were  upon  the  roof 
about  three  thousand  men  and  women, 
that   beheld    while    Samson    made   sport. 

28  And  Samson  called  unto  the  Lord, 
and  said,  O  Lord  God,  remember  me,  I 
pray  thee,  and  strengthen  me,  I  pray 
thee,  only  this  once,  O  God,  that  I  may 
be  at  once  avenged  of  the  Philistines  for 
my  two  eyes. 

29  And  Samson  took  hold  of  the  two 
middle  pillars  upon  which  the  house 
stood,  and  on  which  it  was  borne  up,  of 
the  one  with  his  right  hand,  and  of  the 
other  with  his  left. 

30  And  Samson  said,  Let  me  die  with 
the  Philistines.  And  he  bowed  himself 
with  all  his  might ;  and  the  house  fell 
upon  the  lords,  and  upon  all  the  people 
that  were  therein.  So  the  dead  which  he 
slew  at  his  death  were  more  than  they 
which  he   slew  in  his  life. 

31  Then  his  brethren  and  all  the  house 
of  his  father  came  down,  and  took  him, 
and  brought  him  up,  and  buried  him  be- 
tween Zorah  and  Eshtaol  in  the  burying-

my  salvation,  my  high  tower,  and  my 
refuge,  my  saviour;  thou  savest  me  from 
violence. 

4  I  will  call  on  the  Lord,  ivho  is  worthy 
to  be  praised :  so  shall  I  be  saved  from 
mine  enemies. 

5  When  the  waves  of  death  compassed 
me,  the  floods  of  ungodly  men  made  me 
afraid ; 

6  The  sorrows  of  hell  compassed  me 
about ;  the  snares  of  death  prevented 
me. 

7  In  my  distress  I  called  upon  the 
Lord,  and  cried  to  my  God :  and  he  did 
hear  my  voice  out  of  his  temple,  and 
my  cry  did  enter  into  his  ears. 

8  Then  the  earth  shook  and  trembled ; 
the  foundations  of  heaven  moved  and 
shook,    because   he    was   wroth. 

9  There  went  up  a  smoke  out  of  his 
nostrils,  and  fire  out  of  his  mouth  de- 
voured :  coals  were  kindled  by  it. 

10  He  bowed  the  heavens  also,  and 
came  down ;  and  darkness  zuas  under  his 
feet. 

11  And  he  rode  upon  a  cherub,  and  did 
fly :  and  he  was  seen  upon  the  wings  of

The  Righteous  Man 
Psalm  I 

1  BLESSED  is  the  man  that  walketh 
not  in  the  counsel  of  the  ungodly,  nor 
standeth  in  the  way  of  sinners,  nor  sitteth 
in  the  seat  of  the  scornful. 

2  But  his  delight  is  in  the  law  of  the 
Lord;  and  in  his  law  doth  he  meditate 
day  and  night. 

3  And  he  shall  be  like  a  tree  planted  by 
the  rivers  of  water,  that  bringeth  forth 
his  fruit  in  his  season;  his  leaf  also  shall 
not  wither;  and  whatsoever  he  doeth 
shall  prosper. 

4  The  ungodly  are  not  so :  but  are  like 
the  chaff  which  the  wind  driveth  away. 

5  Therefore  the  ungodly  shall  not 
stand  in  the  judgment,  nor  sinners  in  the 
congregation  of  the  righteous. 

6  For  the  Lord  knoweth  the  way  of 
the  righteous  :  but  the  way  of  the  un- 
godly shall  perish.

7  And  now,  Lord,  what  wait  I  for? 
my  hope  is  in  thee.

rect man  for  iniquity,  thou  makest  his

thee,  and  a  sojourner,  as  all  my  fathers

"The  Lord  is  My  Help" 
Psalm  XL 

1  I  WAITED  patiently  for  the  Lord; 
and  he  inclined  unto  me,  and  heard  my 
cry. 

2  He  brought  me  up  also  out  of  a 
horrible  pit,  out  of  the  miry  clay,  and  set 
my  feet  upon  a  rock,  and  established  my 
goings. 

3  And  he  hath  put  a  new  song  in  my 
mouth,  even  praise  unto  our  God :  many 
shall  see  it,  and  fear,  and  shall  trust  in 
the  Lord. 

4  Blessed    is    that    man    that    maketh 


the  Lord  his  trust,  and  respecteth  not 
the  proud,  nor  such  as  turn  aside  to 
lies. 

5  Many,  O  Lord  my  God,  are  thy 
wonderful  works  which  thou  hast  done, 
and  thy  thoughts  which  are  to  us-ward : 
they  cannot  be  reckoned  up  in  order 
unto  thee  :  if  I  would  declare  and  speak 
of  them,  they  are  more  than  can  be 
numbered. 

6  Sacrifice  and  offering  thou  didst  not 
desire ;  mine  ears  hast  thou  opened ; 
burnt  offering  and  sin  offering  hast  thou 
not  required. 

7  Then  said  I,  Lo,  I  come :  in  the 
volume  of  the  book  it  is  written  of  me. 

8  I  delight  to  do  thy  will,  O  my  God: 
yea,  thy  law  is  within  my  heart. 

9  I  have  preached  righteousness  in  the 
great  congregation :  lo,  I  have  not  re- 
frained my  lips,  O  Lord,  thou  knowest. 

10  I  have  not  hid  thy  righteousness 
within  my  heart;  I  have  declared  thy 
faithfulness  and  thy  salvation :  I  have 
not  concealed  thy  lovingkindness  and 
thy   truth    from   the   great    congregation. 

11  Withhold  not  thou  thy  tender  mer- 
cies from  me,  O  Lord  :  let  thy  loving- 
kindness  and  thy  truth  continually  pre- 
serve me. 

12  For  innumerable  evils  have  com- 
passed me  about :  mine  iniquities  have 
taken  hold  upon  me,  so  that  I  am  not 
able  to  look  up ;  they  are  more  than  the 
hairs  of  mine  head :  therefore  my  heart 
faileth  me. 

13  Be  pleased,  O  Lord,  to  deliver  me : 
O  Lord,  make  haste  to  help  me. 

14  Let  them  be  ashamed  and  con- 
founded together  that  seek  after  my 
soul  to  destroy  it ;  let  them  be  driven 
backward  and  put  to  shame  that  wish 
me  evil. 

15  Let  them  be  desolate  for  a  reward 
of  their  shame  that  say  unto  me,  Aha, 
aha.

and  be  glad  in  thee:  let  such  as  love

Lord  thinketh  upon  me:  thou  art  my

Thirst  for  God 
Psalm    LXII 

1  AS  the  heart  panteth  after  the  water 
brooks,  so  panteth  my  soul  after  thee, 
O   God. 

2  My  soul  thirsteth  for  God,  for  the 
living  God :  when  shall  I  come  and 
appear   before   God? 

3  My  tears  have  been  my  meat  day 
and  night,  while  they  continually  say 
unto  me,  Where  is  thy  God. 

4  When  I  remember  these  things,  I 
pour  out  my  soul  in  me :  for  I  had  gone 
with  the  multitude,  I  went  with  them 
to  the  house  of  God,  with  the  voice  of 
joy  and  praise,  with  the  multitude  that 
kept  holyday. 

5  Why  art  thou  cast  down,  O  my  soul? 
and  why  art  thou  disquieted  in  me? 
hope  thou  in  God  :  for  I  shall  yet  praise 
him  for  the  help  of  his  countenance. 

6  O  my  God,  my  soul  is  cast  down 
within  me :  therefore  will  I  remember 
thee  from  the  land  of  Jordan,  and  of 
the  Hermonites,  from  the  hill  Mizar. 

7  Deep  calleth  unto  deep  at  the  noise 
of  thy  waterspouts :  all  thy  waves  and 
thy  billows  are  gone   over  me. 

8  Yet  the  Lord  will  command  his 
lovingkindness  in  the  daytime,  and  in 
the  night  his  song  shall  be  with  me,  and 
my  prayer  unto  the  God  of  my  life. 

9  I  will  say  unto  God  my  rock,  Why 
hast  thou  forgotten  me?  why  go  I 
mourning  because  of  the  oppression  of 
the  enemy? 


10  As  with  a  sword  in  my  bones,  mine 
enemies  reproach  me;  while  they  say 
daily  unto  me,  Where  is  thy  God? 

11  Why  art  thou  cast  down,  O  my 
soul  ?  and  why  art  thou  disquieted  within 
me  ?  hope  thou  in  God :  for  I  shall  yet 
praise  him,  who  is  the  health  of  my 
countenance,  and  my  God.

Our   Refuge 
Psalm    XLVI 

1  GOD  is  our  refuge  and  strength,  a

5  God  is  in  the  midst  of  her;  she  shall 
not  be  moved :  God  shall  help  her,  and

were  moved :  he  uttered  his  voice,  the 
earth   melted. 

7  The  Lord  of  hosts  is  with  us;  the

8  Come,  behold  the  works  of  the  Lord, 
what  desolations  he  hath  made  in  the 
earth. 

9  He  maketh  wars  to  cease  unto  the 
end  of  the  earth;  he  breaketh  the  bow, 
and  cutteth  the  spear  in  sunder;  he 
burneth   the  chariot  in  the  fire.

Forgiveness  of   Sin

4  Against  thee,  thee  only,  have  I 
sinned,  and  done  this  evil  in  thy  sight :

speakest,  and  be  clear  when  thou  judgest.

inward  parts :  and  in  the  hidden  part 
thou  shalt  make  me  to  know  wisdom.

Spirit.

would   I  give  it:   thou   delightest  not  in 
burnt   offering.

Man  is  Corrupt

There  is  no  God.  Corrupt  are  they,  and 
have  done  abominable  iniquity :  there  is

God.

The  Blessing  of  Uprightness 
Psalm    LXXXIV 

1  HOW  amiable  are  thy  tabernacles, 
O  Lord  of  hosts ! 

2  My  soul  longeth,  yea,  even  fainteth 
for  the  courts  of  the  Lord  :  my  heart  and 
my  flesh  crieth   out   for  the   living  God. 

3  Yet,  the  sparrow  hath  found  a  house, 
and  the  swallow  a  nest  for  herself,  where 
she  may  lay  her  young,  even  thine  altars, 
O  Lord  of  hosts,  my  King,  and  my  God.

who   healeth    all    thy    diseases ;

lovingkindness    and    tender   mercies; 

5  Who  satisfieth  thy  mouth  with  good 


things;  so  that  thy  youth  is  renewed  like

6  The  Lord  executeth  righteousness 
and  judgment  for  all  that  are  oppressed. 

7  He  made  known  his  ways  unto 
Moses,  his  acts  unto  the  children  of 
Israel. 

8  The  Lord  is  merciful  and  gracious, 
slow  to  anger,  and  plenteous  in  mercy. 

9  He  will  not  always  chide :  neither 
will   he   keep  his  anger  for  ever. 

io  He  hath  not  dealt  with  us  after 
our  sins;  nor  rewarded  us  according  to

that  fear  him. 

12  As  far  as  the  east  is  from  the  west, 
so  far  hath  he  removed  our  trans- 
gressions  from  us. 

13  Like  as  a  father  pitieth  his  children, 
so  the  Lord  pitieth  them  that  fear 
him.

it  is  gone;  and  the  place  thereof  shall

everlasting  to  everlasting  upon  them  that 
fear  him,  and  his  righteousness  unto 
children's   children ; 

18  To  such  as  keep  his  covenant,  and

fountains  abounding  with  water. 

25  Before  the  mountains  were  settled,

26  While  as  yet  he  had  not  made  the 
earth,  nor  the  fields,  nor  the  highest 
part  of  the  dust  of  the  world. 

27  When  he  prepared  the  heavens,  I

28  When  he  established  the  clouds 
above:  when  he  strengthened  the  foun-

his  earth;  and  my  delights  were  with

O  ye  children :  for  blessed  are  they  that 
keep  my  ways.

refuse  it  not. 

34  Blessed  is  the  man  that  heareth  me, 
watching  daily  at  my  gates,  waiting  at 
the  posts  of  my  doors. 

35  For  whoso  findeth  me  findeth  life, 
and  shall  obtain  favour  of  the  Lord.

wrongeth  his  own  soul :  all  they  that

The  Lot  of  the  Slothful  Man 
Proverbs   XXII :  1-13   and   XXIV:  30-34 

1  A  GOOD  name  is  rather  to  be  chosen 
than  great  riches,  and  loving  favour 
rather  than  silver  and  gold. 

2  The  rich  and  poor  meet  together: 
the  Lord  is  the  maker  of  them  all. 


3  A  prudent  man  foreseeth  the  evil, 
and  hideth  himself  :  but  the  simple  pass 
on,  and  are  punished. 

4  By  humility  and  the  fear  of  the  Lord 
are  riches,  and  honour,  and  life. 

5  Thorns  and  snares  are  in  the  way  of 
the  f roward :  he  that  doth  keep  his  soul 
shall  be  far  from  them. 

6  Train  up  a  child  in  the  way  he  should 
go :  and  when  he  is  old,  he  will  not 
depart  from  it. 

7  The  rich  ruleth  over  the  poor,  and 
the  borrower  is  servant  to  the  lender. 

8  He  that  soweth  iniquity  shall  reap 
vanity :  and  the  rod  of  his  anger  shall 
fail. 

9  He  that  hath  a  bountiful  eye  shall  be 
blessed ;  for  he  giveth  of  his  bread  to 
the  poor. 

10  Cast  out  the  scorner,  and  conten- 
tion shall  go  out ;  yea,  strife  and  re- 
proach shall  cease. 

11  He  that  loveth  pureness  of  heart, 
for  the  grace  of  his  lips  the  king  shall  be 
his  friend. 

12  The  eyes  of  the  Lord  preserve 
knowledge ;  and  he  overthroweth  the 
words  of  the  transgressor. 

13  The  slothful  man  saith,  There  is  a

Ecclesiastes  XII 

1  REMEMBER  now  thy  Creator  in

moon,  or  the  stars,  be  not  darkened,  nor

3  In  the  day  when  the  keepers  of  the 
house  shall  tremble,  and  the  strong  men 
shall  bow  themselves,  and  the  grinders 
cease  because  they  are  few,  and  those 
that  look  out  of  the  windows  be  dark- 
ened. 

4  And  the  doors  shall  be  shut  in  the 
streets,  when  the  sound  of  the  grinding 
is  low,  and  he  shall  rise  up  at  the  voice 
of  the  bird,  and  all  the  daughters  of 
music  shall  be  brought  low ;

the  golden  bowl  be  broken,  or  the  pitcher 
be  broken  at  the  fountain,  or  the  wheel 
broken  at  the  cistern.

earth  as  it  was:  and  the  spirit  shall 
return  unto  God  who  gave  it.

Preacher ;     all    is   vanity. 

9  And  moreover,  because  the  Preacher 
was  wise,  he  still  taught  the  people 
knowledge;  yea,  he  gave  good  heed,  and 
sought  out,  and  set  in  order  many  prov- 
erbs.

acceptable  words :  and  that  which  was 
written  was  upright,  even  words  of  truth.

whole  matter:  Fear  God,  and  keep  his 
commandments:  for  this  is  the  whole

of  their  meat,  and  the  wine  that  they 
should  drink ;  and  gave  them  pulse. 

17  f  As  for  these  four  children,  God 
gave  them  knowledge  and  skill  in  all 
learning  and  wisdom :  and  Daniel  had 
understanding  in  all  visions  and  dreams.

king  had  said  he  should  bring  them  in,

them  in  before  Nebuchadnezzar.

like  Daniel,  Hananiah,  Mishael,  and 
Azariah:  therefore,  stood  they  before

Daniel  in  the  Den  of  Lions 
Daniel  VI:  1-17 

1  IT  pleased  Darius  to  set  over  the 
kingdom  an  hundred  and  twenty  princes, 
which  should  be  over  the  whole  kingdom  ; 

2  And  over  these  three  presidents;  of 
whom  Daniel  ivas  first:  that  the  princes 
might  give  accounts  unto  them,  and  the 
king  should  have  no  damage. 

3  Then  this  Daniel  was  preferred 
above  the  presidents  and  princes,  because 
an  excellent  spirit  was  in  him ;  and  the 
king  thought  to  set  him  over  the  whole 
realm. 

4  If  Then  the  presidents  and  princes 
sought  to  find  occasion  against  Daniel 
concerning  the  kingdom ;  but  they  could 
find  none  occasion  nor  fault ;  forasmuch 
as  he  was  faithful,  neither  was  there  any 
error  or  fault  found  in  him. 

5  Then  said  these  men,  We  shall  not 
find  any  occasion  against  this  Daniel, 
except  we  find  it  against  him  concerning 
the  law  of  his  God. 

6  Then  these  presidents  and  princes 
assembled  together  to  the  king,  and 
said  thus  unto  him,  King  Darius,  live 
for  ever. 

7  All  the  presidents  of  the  kingdom, 
the  governors,  and  the  princes,  the  coun- 
sellors, and  the  captains,  have  consulted 
together  to  establish  a  royal  statue,  and 
to  make  a  firm  decree,  that  whosoever 
shall  ask  a  petition  of  any  God  or  man 
for  thirty  days,  save  of  thee,  O  king,  he 
shall  be  cast  into  the  den  of  lions. 

8  Now,  O  king,  establish  the  decree,

and  sign  the  writing,  that  it  be  not 
changed,  according  to  the  law  of  the 
Medes  and  Persians,  which  altereth 
not. 

9  Wherefore  king  Darius  signed  the 
writing  and  the  decree. 

10  If  Now  when  Daniel  knew  that  the 
writing  was  signed,  he  went  into  his 
house;  and  his  windows  being  open  in 
his  chamber  toward  Jerusalem,  he 
kneeled  upon  his  knees  three  times  a 
day,  and  prayed,  and  gave  thanks  be- 
fore his  God,  as  he  did  aforetime. 

ii  Then  these  men  assembled,  and 
found  Daniel  praying  and  making  sup- 
plication before  his  God. 

12  Then  they  came  near,  and  spake 
before  the  king  concerning  the  king's 
decree;  Hast  thou  not  signed  a  decree, 
that  every  man  that  shall  ask  a  petition 
of  any  God  or  man  within  thirty  days, 
save  of  thee,  O  king,  shall  be  cast  into 
the  den  of  lions?  The  king  answered 
and  said,  The  thing  is  true,  according 
to  the  law  of  the  Medes  and  Persians, 
which  altereth  not. 

13  Then  answered  they  and  said  before 
the  king,  That  Daniel,  which  is  of  the 
children  of  the  captivity  of  Judah,  re- 
garded! not  thee,  O  king,  nor  the  decree 
that  thou  hast  signed,  but  maketh  his 
petition  three  times  a  day. 

14  Then  the  king,  when  he  heard  these 
words,  was  sore  displeased  with  himself, 
and  set  his  heart  on  Daniel  to  deliver 
him :  and  he  laboured  till  the  going  down 
of  the  sun  to  deliver  him. 

15  Then  these  men  assembled  unto  the 
king,  and  said  unto  the  king,  Know,  O 
king,  that  the  law  of  the  Medes  and 
Persians  is,  That  no  decree  nor  statute 
which  the  king  establisheth  may  be 
changed. 

16  Then  the  king  commanded,  and 
they  brought  Daniel,  and  cast  him  into 
the  den  of  lions.  Now  the  king  spake 
and  said  unto  Daniel,   Thy  God  whom 


thou  servest  continually,  he  will  deliver 
thee. 

17  And  a  stone  was  brought,  and  laid 
upon  the  mouth  of  the  den ;  and  the  king 
sealed  it  with  his  own  signet,  and  with 
the  signet  of  his  lords;  that  the  purpose 
might  not  be  changed  concerning  Daniel.

Daniel's  Deliverance

and  passed  the  night  fasting :  neither 
were  instruments  of  musick  brought  be-

19  Then  the  king  arose  very  early  in 
the  morning,  and  went  in  haste  unto  the 
den  of  lions. 

20  And  when  he  came  to  the  den,  he 
cried  with  a  lamentable  voice  unto 
Daniel :  and  the  king  spake  and  said  to 
Daniel,  O  Daniel,  servant  of  the  living 
God,  is  thy  God,  whom  thou  servest 
continually,  able  to  deliver  thee  from 
the  lions? 

21  Then  said  Daniel  unto  the  king, 
O  king,  live  for  ever. 

22  My  God  hath  sent  his  angel,  and 
hath  shut  the  lions'  mouths,  that  they 
have  not  hurt  me :  forasmuch  as  before 
him  innocency  was  found  in  me ;  and 
also  before  thee,  O  king,  have  I  done  no 
hurt. 

23  Then  was  the  king  exceeding  glad 
for  him,  and  commanded  that  they 
should  take  Daniel  up  out  of  the  den. 
So  Daniel  was  taken  up  out  of  the  den, 
and  no  manner  of  hurt  was  found  upon 
him,  because  he  believed  in  his   God.

Governor,  that  shall  rule  my  people

young  child ;  and  when  ye  have  found 
him,  bring  me  word  again,  that  I  may

St.   Luke   II :  40-51 

40  AND  the  child  grew,  and  waxed 
strong  in  spirit,  rilled  with  wisdom;  and 
the  grace  of  God  was  upon  him. 

41  Now  his  parents  went  to  Jerusalem 
every  year  at  the  feast  of  the  passover. 

42  And  when  he  was  twelve  years 
old,  they  went  up  to  Jerusalem  after 
the  custom  of  the  feast. 

43  And  when  they  had  fulfilled  the 
days,  as  they  returned,  the  child  Jesus 
tarried  behind  in  Jerusalem ;  and  Joseph 
and  his  mother  knew  not  of  it. 

44  But  they,  supposing  him  to  have 
been  in  the  company,  went  a  day's  jour- 
ney; and  they  sought  him  among  their 
kinsfolk  and  acquaintance. 

45  And  when  they  found  him  not,  they 
turned  back  again  to  Jerusalem,  seeking 
him. 

46  And  it  came  to  pass,  that  after  three 
days  they  found  him  in  the  temple,  sitting 
in  the  midst  of  the  doctors,  both  hear- 
ing them,  and  asking  them  questions. 

47  And  all  that  heard  him  were 
astonished  at  his  understanding  and 
answers. 

48  And  when  they  saw  him,  they  were 
amazed :  and  his  mother  said  unto  him, 
Son,  why  hast  thou  thus  dealt  with  us? 
behold,  thy  father  and  I  have  sought 
thee    sorrowing.

The  Preaching  of  John  the  Baptist 
St.  Matthew  III :  1-17 

1  IN  those  days  came  John  the  Bap- 
tist, preaching  in  the  wilderness  of 
Judea, 

2  And  saying,  Repent  ye:  for  the 
kingdom  of  heaven   is  at  hand. 

3  For  this  is  he  that  was  spoken  of 
by  the  prophet  Esaias,  saying,  The  voice 
of  one  crying  in  the  wilderness,  Pre- 
pare ye  the  way  of  the  Lord,  make  his 
paths  straight. 

4  And  the  same  John  had  his  raiment 
of  camel's  hair,  and  a  leathern  girdle 
about  his  loins ;  and  his  meat  was  lo- 
custs and   wild  honey. 

5  Then  went  out  to  him  Jerusalem, 
and  all  Judea,  and  all  the  region  round 
about  the  Jordan. 

6  And  were  baptized  of  him  in  Jordan, 
confessing  their  sins. 

7  1f  But  when  he  saw  many  of  the 
Pharisees  and  Sadducees  come  to  his 
baptism,  he  said  unto  them,  O  genera- 
tion of  vipers,  who  hath  warned  you 
to  flee  from  the  wrath  to  come? 

8  Bring  forth  therefore  fruits  meet 
for  repentance: 

9  And  think  not  to  say  within  your- 
selves, We  have  Abraham  to  our  father : 
for  I  say  unto  you,  that  God  is  able 
of  these  stones  to  raise  up  children  unto 
Abraham. 

10  And  now  also  the  axe  is  laid  unto 


the  root  of  the  trees:  therefore  every 
tree  which  bringeth  not  forth  good 
fruit  is  hewn  down,  and  cast  into  the 
fire. 

11  I  indeed  baptize  you  with  water 
unto  repentance :  but  he  that  cometh 
after  me  is  mightier  than  I,  whose  shoes 
I  am  not  worthy  to  bear :  he  shall  bap- 
tize you  with  the  Holy  Ghost,  and  with 
fire : 

12  Whose  fan  is  in  his  hand,  and 
he  will  thoroughly  purge  his  floor,  and 
gather  his  wheat  into  the  garner;  but 
he  will  burn  up  the  chaff  with  un- 
quenchable fire. 

13  H  Then  cometh  Jesus  from  Galilee 
to  Jordan  unto  John,  to  be  baptized  of 
him. 

14  But  John  forbad  him,  saying,  I 
have  need  to  be  baptized  of  thee,  and 
comest  thou  to  me? 

15  And  Jesus  answering  said  unto 
him,  Suffer  it  to  be  so  now :  for  thus 
it  becometh  us  to  fulfil  all  righteousness. 
Then  he  suffered  him. 

16  And  Jesus,  when  he  was  baptized, 
went  up  straightway  out  of  the  water : 
and,  lo,  the  heavens  were  opened  unto 
him,  and  he  saw  the  Spirit  of  God  de- 
scending like  a  dove,  and  lighting  upon 
him: 

17  And  lo  a  voice  from  heaven,  say- 
ing, This  is  my  beloved  Son,  in  whom 
I  am  well  pleased.

he  said,  If  thou  be  the  Son  of  God,  com- 
mand that   these  stones  be  made  bread. 

4  But  he  answered  and  said,  It  is  writ- 
ten, Man  shall  not  live  by  bread  alone, 
but  by  every  word  that  proceedeth  out  of 
the  mouth  of  God. 

5  Then  the  devil  taketh  him  up  into

nacle of  the  temple, 

6  And  saith  unto  him,  If  thou  be  the 
Son  of  God,  cast  thyself  down :  for  it  is 
written,  He  shall  give  his  angels  charge 
concerning  thee :  and  in  their  hands  they 
shall  bear  thee  up,  lest  at  any  time  thou 
dash  thy  foot  against  a  stone. 

7  Jesus  said  unto  him,  It  is  written 
again,  Thou  shalt  not  tempt  the  Lord  thy 
God. 

8  Again,  the  devil  taketh  him  up  into 
an  exceeding  high  mountain,  and  sheweth 
him  all  the  kingdoms  of  the  world,  and 
the  glory   of  them; 

9  And  saith  unto  him,  All  these  things 
will  I  give  thee,  if  thou  wilt  fall  down 
and    worship   me. 

io  Then  saith  Jesus  unto  him,  Get 
thee  hence,  Satan :  for  it  is  written,  Thou 
shalt  worship  the  Lord  thy  God,  and 
him   only  shalt  thou   serve.

stood,   and   two   of   his    disciples ;

walked,  he  saith,  Behold  the  Lamb  of 
God! 

37  And  the  two  disciples  heard  him 
speak,  and  they  followed  Jesus. 

38  Then  Jesus  turned,  and  saw  them 
following,  and  saith  unto  them,  What

(which  is  to  say,  being  interpreted,  Mas- 
ter,)   where  dwellest  thou? 

39  He  saith  unto  them,  Come  and  see. 
They  came  and  saw  where  he  dwelt,  and 
abode  with  him  that  day :  for  it  was 
about  the  tenth  hour. 

40  One  of  the  two  which  heard  John 
speak,  and  followed  him,  was  Andrew, 
Simon    Peter's  brother.

Simon,  and  saith  unto  him,  We  have 
found  the  Messias,  which  is,  being  inter- 
preted, the   Christ.

art  Simon  the  son  of  Jona :  thou  shalt 
be  called  Cephas,  which  is  by  interpreta- 
tion, A  stone.

there  any  good  thing  come  out  of 
Nazareth  ?  Philip  saith  unto  him,  Come

47  Jesus  saw  Nathanael  coming  to  him,

3  And  when  they  wanted  wine,  the 
mother  of  Jesus  saith  unto  him,  They 
have  no   wine. 

4  Jesus  saith  -unto  her,  Woman,  what 
have  I  to  do  with  thee?  mine  hour  is 
not  yet  come. 

5  His  mother  saith  unto  the  servants, 
Whatsoever  he  saith  unto  yon,  do  it.

pots  of  stone,  after  the  manner  of  the 
purifying  of  the  Jews,  containing  two  or 
three  firkins  apiece. 

7  Jesus  saith  unto  them,  Fill  the  water- 
pots  with  water.  And  they  filled  them 
up  to  the  brim. 

8  And  he  saith  unto  them,  Draw  out 
now,  and  bear  unto  the  governor  of  the 
feast.     And  they  bare   it.

tasted  the  water  that  was  made  wine,  and

that  thou  art  a  teacher  come  from  God : 
for  no  man  can  do  these  miracles  that 
thou   doest,   except  God  be   with  him. 

3  Jesus  answered  and  said  unto  him, 
Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto  thee,  Except  a 
man  be  born  again,  he  cannot  see  the 
kingdom  of  God. 

4  Nicodemus  saith  unto  him,  How  can 
a  man  be  born  when  he  is  old?  can  he 
enter  the  second  time  into  his  mother's 
womb,   and  be   born? 

5  Jesus  answered,  Verily,  verily,  I  say 
unto  thee,  Except  a  man  be  born  of 
water  and  of  the  Spirit,  he  cannot  enter 
into  the  kingdom  of  God. 

6  That  which  is  born  of  the  flesh  is 
flesh ;  and  that  which  is  born  of  the 
Spirit    is    spirit.

Ye  must  be  born  again. 

8  The  wind  bloweth  where  it  listeth, 
and  thou  hearest  the  sound  thereof,  but 
canst  not  tell  whence  it  cometh,  and 
whither  it  goeth :  so  is  every  one  that  is 
born  of  the   Spirit

him,  How  can  these  things  be? 

10  Jesus  answered  and  said  unto  him, 
Art  thou  a  master  of  Israel,  and  know- 
est  not  these  things? 

n  Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto  thee,  We 
speak  that  we  do  know,  and  testify  that 
we  have  seen;  and  ye  receive  not  our 
witness. 


12  If  I  have  told  you  earthly  things, 
and  ye  believe  not,  how  shall  ye  believe, 
if  I  tell  you  of  heavenly  things? 

13  And  no  man  hath  ascended  up  to 
heaven,  but  he  that  came  down  from 
heaven,  even  the  Son  of  man  which  is  in 
heaven.

pent in  the  .wilderness,  even  so  must  the 
Son   of  man   be   lifted   up :

he  gave  his  only  begotten  Son,  that  who- 
soever believeth  in  him  should  not  perish,

"Love  Your  Enemies" 
St.  Matthew  V:  43-48 

43  1  YE  have  heard  that  it  hath  been 
said,  Thou  shalt  love  thy  neighbour  and 
hate  thine  enemy. 

44  But  I  say  unto  you,  Love  your 
enemies,  bless  them  that  curse  you,  do 
good  to  them  that  hate  you,  and  pray  for 
them  which  despitefully  use  you,  and 
persecute  you ; 

45  That  ye  may  be  the  children  of 
your  Father  which  is  in  heaven:  for  he 
maketh  his  sun  to  rise  on  the  evil  and 
on  the  good,  and  sendeth  rain  on  the 
just  and  on  the  unjust. 

46  For  if  ye  love  them  which  love 
you,  what  reward  have  ye?  do  not  even 
the  publicans  the  same? 

47  And  if  ye  salute  your  brethren 
only,  what  do  ye  more  than  others?  do 
not  even  the  publicans  so? 

48  Be  ye  therefore  perfect,  even  as 
your  Father  which  is  in  heaven  is  per- 
fect.

Our  Lord's  Prayer 
St.  Matthew  VI:  5-15 

5  U  AND  when  thou  prayest,  thou  shalt 
not  be  as  the  hypocrites  are:  for  they 
love  to  pray  standing  in  the  synagogues 
and  in  the  corners  of  the  streets,  that 
they  may  be  seen  of  men.  Verily  I  say 
unto  you,  They  have  their  reward. 

6  But  thou,  when  thou  prayest,  enter 
into  thy  closet,  and  when  thou  hast  shut 
thy  door,  pray  to  thy  Father  which  is 
in  secret ;  and  thy  Father  which  seeth 
in  secret  shall  reward  thee  openly. 

7  But  when  ye  pray,  use  not  vain 
repetitions,  as  the  heathen  do:  for  they 
think  that  they  shall  be  heard  for  their 
much  speaking. 

8  Be  not  ye  therefore  like  unto  them: 
for  your  Father  knoweth  what  things  ye 
have  need  of,  before  ye  ask  him. 

9  After  this  manner  therefore  pray 
ye:  Our  Father  which  art  in  heaven, 
Hallowed  be  thy  name. 

10  Thy  kingdom  come.  Thy  will  be 
done  in  earth,  as  it  is  in  heaven. 

11  Give  us  this  day  our  daily  bread. 

12  And  forgive  us  our  debts,  as  we 
forgive  our  debtors. 

13  And  lead  us  not  into  temptation, 
but  deliver  us  from  evil :  For  thine  is 
the  kingdom,  and  the  power,  and  the 
glory,   for  ever.     Amen. 

14  For  if  ye  forgive  men  their  tres- 
passes, your  heavenly  Father  will  also 
forgive  you : 

15  But  if  ye  forgive  not  men  their 
trespasses,  neither  will  your  Father  for- 
give your  trespasses.

rust    doth    corrupt,    and    where    thieves 
break  through  and  steal. 

20  But  lay  up  for  yourselves  treasures 
in  heaven,  where  neither  moth  nor  rust 
doth  corrupt,  and  where  thieves  do  not 
break  through  nor  steal : 

21  For  where  your  treasure  is,  there 
will  your  heart  be  also. 

22  The  light  of  the  body  is  the  eye : 
if  therefore  thine  eye  be  single,  thy 
whole  body  shall  be  full  of  light. 

23  But  if  thine  eye  be  evil,  thy  whole 
body  shall  be  full  of  darkness.  If  there- 
fore the  light  that  is  in  thee  be  darkness, 
how  great  is  that  darkness ! 

24  TI  No  man  can  serve  two  masters : 
for  either  he  will  hate  the  one,  and  love 
the  other;  or  else  he  will  hold  to  the 
one,  and  despise  the  other.  Ye  cannot 
serve  God  and  mammon. 

25  Therefore  I  say  unto  you,  Take  no 
thought  for  your  life,  what  ye  shall  eat, 
or  what  ye  shall  drink ;  nor  yet  for  your 
body,  what  ye  shall  put  on.  Is  not  the 
life  more  than  meat,  and  the  body  than 
raiment? 

26  Behold  the  fowls  of  the  air :  for 
they  sow  not,  neither  do  they  reap,  nor 
gather  into  barns ;  yet  your  heavenly 
Father  feedeth  them.  Are  ye  not  much 
better  than  they? 

27  Which  of  you  by  taking  thought 
can  add  one  cubit  unto  his  stature? 

28  And  why  take  ye  thought  for 
raiment?  Consider  the  lilies  of  the  field, 
how  they  grow ;  they  toil  not,  neither 
do  they  spin : 

29  And  yet  I  say  unto  you,  That  even 
Solomon  in  all  his  glory  was  not  arrayed 
like  one  of  these. 

30  Wherefore,  if  God  so  clothe  the 
grass  of  the  field,  which  to  day  is,  and 
to  morrow  is  cast  into  the  oven,  shall  he 
not  much  more  clothe  you,  O  ye  of 
little  faith? 

31  Therefore  take  no  thought,  saying, 
What  shall  we  eat?  or,  What  shall  we 


drink,  or,  Wherewithal  shall  we  be 
clothed? 

2,2  (For  after  all  these  things  do  the 
Gentiles  seek:)  for  your  heavenly  Father 
knoweth  that  ye  have  need  of  all  these 
things. 

S3  But  seek  ye  first  the  kingdom  of 
God,  and  his  righteousness ;  and  all  these 
things  shall  be  added  unto  you. 

34  Take  therefore  no  thought  for  the 
morrow :  for  the  morrow  shall  take 
thought  for  the  things  of  itself.  Suffi- 
cient unto  the  day  is  the  evil  thereof.

ye  shall  be  judged:  and  with  what

Let  me  pull  out  the  mote  out  of  thine 
eye;  and,  behold,  a  beam  is  in  thine  own 
eye? 

5  Thou  hypocrite,  first  cast  out  the 
beam  out  of  thine  own  eye ;  and  then 
shalt  thou  see  clearly  to  cast  out  the 
mote  out  of  thy  brother's  eye.

Do  men  gather  grapes  of  thorns,  or  figs 
of  thistles?

forth  good  fruit;  but  a  corrupt  tree 
bringeth  forth  evil  fruit.

fruit,  neither  can  a  corrupt  tree  bring 
forth  good  fruit.

25  And  the  rain  descended,  and  the 
floods  came,  and  the  winds  blew,  and

forth  to  sow; 

4  And  when  he  sowed,  some  seeds  fell 
by  the  way  side,  and  the  fowls  came  and

5*  Some  fell  upon  stony  places,  where

6  And  when  the  sun  was  up,  they  were

they  withered  away.

the  thorns  sprung  up,  and  choked  them : 

8  But  other  fell  into  good  ground,  and 
brought  forth  fruit,  some  a  hundred-

then  cometh  the  wicked  one,  and  catcheth

This  is  he  which  received  seed  by  the

the  word,  by  and  by  he  is  offended.

Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto  you,  Ye  seek 
me,  not  because  ye  saw  the  miracles, 
but  because  ye  did  eat  of  the  loaves, 
and  were  filled. 

27  Labour  not  for  the  meat  which 
perisheth,  but  for  that  meat  which  en- 
dureth  unto  everlasting  life,  which  the 
Son  of  man  shall  give  unto  you :  for 
him  hath  God  the  Father  sealed.

shall  we  do,  that  we  might  work  the

This  is  the  work  of  God,  that  ye  believe 
on  him  whom  he  sath  sent.

What  sign  shewest  thou  then,  that  we

thou  work?

desert;  as  it  is  written,  He  gave  them 
bread  from  heaven  to  eat.

verily,  I  say  unto  you,  Moses  gave  you 
not  that  bread  from  heaven ;  but  my 
Father  giveth  you  the  true  bread  from 
heaven.

cometh  down  from  heaven,  and  giveth 
life  unto  the  world.

evermore  give  us  this  bread.

bread  of  life :  he  that  cometh  to  me  shall 
never  hunger ;  and  he  that  believeth  on 
me  shall  never  thirst.

2  And  his  disciples  asked  him,  saying, 
Master,  who  did  sin,  this  man,  or  his 
parents,  that  he  was  born  blind?

man  sinned,  nor  his  parents :  but  that  the 
works  of  God  should  be  made  manifest 
in  him.

sheepfold,  but  climbeth   up  some  other 
way,  the  same  is  a  thief  and  a  robber. 

2  But  he  that  entereth  in  by  the  door

catcheth  them,  and  scattereth  the  sheep.

St.   Luke   XVIII:  9-17 

9  AND  he  spake  this  parable  unto 
certain  which  trusted  in  themselves  that 
they  were  righteous,  and  despised 
others : 

10  Two  men  went  up  into  the  temple 
to  pray;  the  one  a  Pharisee,  and  the 
other  a  publican. 

11  The  Pharisee  stood  and  prayed  thus 
with  himself,  God,  I  thank  thee,  that  I 
am  not  as  other  men  are,  extortioners, 
unjust,  adulterers,  or  even  as  this  pub- 
lican. 

12  I  fast  twice  in  the  week,  I  give 
tithes  of  all  that   I   possess. 

13  And  the  publican,  standing  afar  off, 
would  not  lift  up  so  much  as  his  eyes 
unto  heaven,  but  smote  upon  his  breast, 
saying,  God  be  merciful  to  me  a  sinner. 

14  I  tell  you,  this  man  went  down  to 
his  house  justified  rather  than  the  other: 
for  every  one  that  exalteth  himself  shall 
be  abased ;  and  he  that  humbleth  himself 
shall  be  exalted. 

15  And  they  brought  unto  him  also 
infants,  that  he  would  touch  them :  but 
when  his  disciples  saw  it,  they  rebuked 
them. 

16  But  Jesus  called  them  unto  him, 
and  said,  Suffer  little  children  to  come 
unto  me,  and  forbid  them  not :  for  of 
such    is   the   kingdom   of   God. 

17  Verily  I  say  unto  you,  Whosoever 
shall  not  receive  the  kingdom  of  God 
as  a  little  child  shall  in  no  wise  enter 
therein.

19  And  Jesus  said  unto  him,  Why 
callest  thou  me  good?  none  is  good, 
save  one,  that  is,  God. 

20  Thou  knowest  the  commandments, 
Do  not  commit  adultery,  Do  not  kill, 
Do  not  steal,  Do  not  bear  false  witness, 
Honour  thy   father   and  thy  mother. 

21  And  he  said,  All  these  have  I  kept 
from  my  youth  up. 

22  Now  when  Jesus  heard  these  things, 
he  said  unto  him,  Yet  lackest  thou  one 
thing:  sell  all  that  thou  hast,  and  dis- 
tribute unto  the  poor,  and  thou  shalt  have 
treasure  in  heaven :  and  come,  follow  me. 

23  And  when  he  heard  this,  he  was 
very   sorrowful :    for   he   was   very   rich. 

24  And  when  Jesus  saw  that  he  was 
very  sorrowful,  he  said,  How  hardly 
shall  they  that  have  riches  enter  into  the 
kingdom  of  God ! 

25  For  it  is  easier  for  a  camel  to  go 
through  a  needle's  eye,  than  for  a  rich 
man  to  enter  into  the  kingdom  of  God. 

26  And  they  that  heard  it  said,  Who 
then  can  be  saved? 

27  And  he  said,  The  things  which  are 
impossible  with  men  are  possible  with 
God. 

28  Then  Peter  said,  Lo,  we  have  left 
all,  and  followed  thee. 

29  And  he  said  unto  them,  Verily  I 
say  unto  you,  There  is  no  man  that  hath 
left  house,  or  parents,  or  brethren,  or 
wife,  or  children,  for  the  kingdom  ,of 
God's   sake, 

30  Who  shall  not  receive  manifold 
more  in  this  present  time,  and  in  the 
world  to  come  life   everlasting. 

31  H  Then  he  took  unto  him  the  twelve, 
and  said  unto  them,  Behold,  we  go  up 
to  Jerusalem,  and  all  things  that  are 
written  by  the  prophets  concerning  the 
Son   of  man   shall  be  accomplished. 

32  For  he  shall  be  delivered  unto  the 
Gentiles,  and  shall  be  mocked,  and  spite- 
fully entreated  and  spitted  on : 

33  And    they    shall    scourge    him,   and 


put  him  to  death ;  and  the  third  day  he 
shall    rise   again. 

34  And  they  understood  none  of  these 
things :  and  this  saying  was  hid  from 
them,  neither  knew  they  the  things  which

teachest  the  way  of  God  in  truth,  neither 
carest  thou  for  any  man:  for  thou  re-

17  Tell  us  therefore,  What  thinkest 
thou?  Is  it  lawful  to  give  tribute  unto 
Caesar,  or  not?

ness and  said,  Why  tempt  ye-  me,  ye 
hypocrites  ? 

19  Shew  me  the  tribute  money.  And

and  unto  God  the  things  that  are  God's.

their  lamps,  and  went  forth  to  meet  the 
bridegroom. 

2  And  five  of  them  were  wise  and  five 
were  foolish.

lamps,  and   took  no  oil  with  them :

Give  us  of  your  oil ;  for  our  lamps  are 
gone  out. 

9  But  the  wise  answered,  saying,  Not 
so;  lest  there  be  not  enough  for  us  and 
you:  but  go  ye  rather  to  them  that  sell,

to  another  two,  and  to  another  one ;  to 
every  man  according  to  his  several  abil-

three  hundred  pence,  and  given  to  the

him  not,  neither  knoweth  him:  but  ye 
know  him ;  for  he  dwelleth  with  you, 
and   shall  be  in  you. 

18  I  will  not  leave  you  comfortless : 
I  will  come  to  you.

seeth  me  no  more ;  but  ye  see  me :  be-

not  fruit  he  taketh  away :  and  every 
branch  that  beareth  fruit,  he  purgeth  it, 
that  it  may  bring  forth  more   fruit. 

3  Now  ye  are  clean  through  the  word 
which  I  have  spoken  unto  you. 

4  Abide  in  me,  and  I  in  you.  As  the 
branch  cannot  bear  fruit  of  itself,  except 
it  abide  in  the  vine ;  no  more  can  ye, 
except  ye  abide  in  me.  ^ 

5  I  am  the  vine,  ye  are  the  branches. 
He  that  abideth  in  me,  and  I  in  him,

without  me  ye  can  do  nothing. 

6  If  a  man  abide  not  in  me,  he  is 
cast  forth  as  a  branch,  and  is  withered ; 
and  men  gather  them,  and  cast  them 
into  the  fire,   and  they  are  burned. 

7  If  ye  abide  in  me,  and  my  words 
abide  in  you,  ye  shall  ask  what  ye  will, 
and  it  shall  be  done  unto  you. 

8  Herein  is  my  Father  glorified,  that 
ye  bear  much  fruit;  so  shall  ye  be  my 
disciples.

shall  abide  in  my  love ;  even  as  I  have

lifted  up  his  eyes  to  heaven,  and  said, 
Father,  the  hour  is  come;  glorify  thy 
Son,  that  thy  Son  also  may  glorify  thee : 

2  As  thou  hast  given  him  power  over 
all  flesh,  that  he  should  give  eternal  life 
to  as  many  as  thou  hast  given  him. 

3  And  this  is  life  eternal,  that  they 
might  know  thee  the  only  true  God,  and 
Jesus  Christ,  whom  thou  hast  sent. 

4  I  have  glorified  thee  on  the  earth:  I 
have  finished  the  work  which  thou  gavest 
me  to  do. 

5  And  now,  O  Father,  glorify  thou  me 
with  thine  own  self  with  the  glory  which 
I  had  with  thee  before  the  world   was. 

6  I  have  manifested  thy  name  unto  the 
men  which  thou  gavest  me  out  of  the 
world :  thine  they  were,  and  thou  gavest 
them  me ;  and  they  have  kept  thy  word. 

7  Now  they  have  known  that  all  things 
whatsoever  thou  hast  given  me  are  of 
thee. 

8  For  I  have  given  unto  them  the 
words  which  thou  gavest  me ;  and  they 
have  received  them,  and  have  known 
surely  that  I  came  out  from  thee,  and 
they  have  believed  that  thou  didst  send 
me. 

9  I  pray  for  them  :  I  pray  not  for  the 
world,  but  for  them  which  thou  hast 
given  me ;  for  they  are  thine. 

10  And  all  mine  are  thine,  and  thine 
are  mine;  and  I  am  glorified  in  them. 

11  And  now  I  am  no  more  in  the 
world,  but  these  are  in  the  world,  dnd  I 
come  to  thee.    Holy  Father,  keep  through 


thine  own  name  those  whom  thou  hast 
given  me,  that  they  may  be  one,  as  we 
are. 

12  While  I  was  with  them  in  the  world, 
I  kept  them  in  thy  name :  those  that  thou 
gavest  me  I  have  kept,  and  none  of  them 
is  lost,  but  the  son  of  perdition;  that  the 
Scripture  might  be  fulfilled. 

13  And  now  come  I  to  thee ;  and  these 
things  I  speak  in  the  world,  that  they 
might  have  my  joy  fulfilled  in  them- 
selves. 

14  I  have  given  them  thy  word ;  and 
the  world  hath  hated  them,  because  they 
are  not  of  the  world,  even  as  I  am  not 
of  the  world. 

15  I  pray  not  that  thou  shouldest  take 
them  out  of  the  world,  but  that  thou 
shouldest  keep  them  from  the  evil. 

16  They  are  not  of  the  world,  even  as 
I  am  not  of  the  world.

Men  and  brethren,  what  shall  we  do?

and  be  baptized  every  one  of  you  in  the

of  sins,  and  ye  shall  receive  the  gift  of

company  of  the  priests  were  obedient  to

in  the  synagogues,  that  he  is  the  Son  of 
God. 

21  But  all  that  heard  Jiim  were 
amazed,  and  said :  Is  not  this  he  that 
destroyed  them  which  called  on  this 
name  in  Jerusalem,  and  came  hither  for 
that  intent,  that  he  might  bring  them 
bound  unto  the  chief   priests? 

22  But  Saul  increased  the  more  in 
strength,  and  confounded  the  Jews 
which  dwelt  at  Damascus,  proving  that 
this  is  very  Christ.

vision : 

20  But  shewed  first  unto  them  of  Da-

to  the  Gentiles,  that  they  should  repent

for  repentance.

24  And  as  he  thus  spake  for  himself, 
Festus  said  with  a  loud  voice,  Paul,  thou 
art  beside  thyself;  much  learning  doth 
make  thee  mad. 

25  But  he  said,  I  am  not  mad,  most 
noble  Festus;  but  speak  forth  the  words 
of  truth  and  soberness. 

26  For  the  king  knoweth  of  these 
things,  before  whom  also  I  speak  freely : 
for  I  am  persuaded  that  none  of  these 
things  are  hidden  from  him ;  for  this 
thing  was  not  done  in  a  corner. 

27  King  Agrippa,  believest  thou  the 
prophets?     I  know  that  thou  believest.

most thou  persuadest  me  to  be  a  Chris- 
tian. 

29  And  Paul  said,  I  would  to  God,  that 
not  only  thou,  but  also  all  that  hear 
me  this  day,  were  both  almost,  and 
altogether  such  as  I  am,  except  these 
bonds.

king  rose  up,  and  the  governor,  and 
Bernice,  and  they  that  sat  with  them  : 

31  And  when  they  were  gone  aside, 
they  talked  between  themselves,  saying, 
This  man  doeth  nothing  worthy  of  death 
or  of  bonds.

saying,  This  day  is  the  fourteenth  day 
that  ye  have  tarried  and  continued  fast- 
ing,  having  taken  nothing. 

34  Wherefore  I  pray  you  to  take  some 
meat ;    for  this  is  for  your  health :   for 


there  shall  not  be  a  hair  fall  from  the 
head  of  any  of  you.

37  And  we  were  in  all  in  the  ship  two 
hundred  threescore  and  sixteen  souls.

wheat  into  the  sea.

not  the  land :  but  they  discovered  a  cer- 
tain creek  with  a  shore,  into  the  which 
they  were  minded,  if  it  were  possible,  to 
thrust  in  the  ship. 

40  And  when  they  had  taken  up  the 
anchors,  they  committed  themselves  unto 
the  sea,  and  loosed  the  rudder  bands, 
and  hoisted  up  the  mainsail  to  the  wind, 
and  made  toward  shore. 

41  And  falling  into  a  place  where  two 
seas  met,  they  ran  the  ship  aground ;  and 
the  forepart  stuck  fast,  and  remained 
unmoveable,  but  the  hinder  part  was 
broken  with  the  violence  of  the  waves.

swim'  out,  and  escape.

Paul,  kept  them  from  their  purpose;

swim  should  cast  themselves  first  into

tribulations  also;  knowing  that  tribula- 
tion worketh  patience ; 

4  And  patience,  experience;  and  ex- 
perience, hope : 

5  And  hope  maketh  not  ashamed ;  be- 
cause the  love  of  God  is  shed  abroad  in 
our  hearts  by  the  Holy  Ghost  which  is 
given  unto  us. 

6  For  when  we  were  yet  without 
strength,  in  due  time  Christ  died  for  the 
ungodly. 

7  For  scarcely  for  a  righteous  man 
will  one  die :  yet  peradventure  for  a  good 
man  some  would  even  dare  to  die.

toward  us,  in  that  while  we  were  yet 
sinners,  Christ  died  for  us. 

9  Much  more  then,  being  now  justified 
by  his  blood,  we  shall  be  saved  from 
wrath  through  him. 

10  For  if,  when  we  were  enemies,  we 
were  reconciled  to  God  by  the  death  of 
his  Son ;  much  more,  being  reconciled, 
we  shall  be  saved  by  his  life.

ness which  is  of  the  law,  That  the  man 
which  doeth  those  things  shall  live  by 
them. 

6  But  the  righteousness  which  is  of 
faith  speaketh  on  this  wise,  Say  not  in 
thine  heart,  Who  shall  ascend  into 
heaven?  (that  is,  to  bring  Christ  down 
from  above:) 

7  Or,  Who  shall  descend  into  the  deep  ? 
(that  is,  to  bring  up  Christ  again  from

not  to  think  of  himself  more  highly  than 
he  ought  to  think;  but  to  think  soberly, 
according  as  God  hath  dealt  to  every 
man  the  measure  of  faith. 


4  For  as  we  have  many  members  in 
one  body,  and  all  members  have  not  the 
same  offce: 

5  So  we,  being  many,  are  one  body  in 
Christ,  and  every  one  members  one  of 
another. 

6  Having  then  gifts  differing  according 
to  the  grace  that  is  given  to  us,  whether 
prophecy,  let  us  prophesy  according  to 
the  proportion  of  faith; 

7  Or  ministry,  let  us  wait  on  our  min- 
istering; or  he  that  teacheth,  on  teach- 
ing; 

8  Or  he  that  exhorteth,  on  exhorta- 
tion :  he  that  giveth,  let  him  do  it  with 
simplicity;  he  that  ruleth,  with  diligence; 
he  that  sheweth  mercy,  with  cheerfulness. 

9  Let  love  be  without  dissimulation. 
Abhor  that  which  is  evil ;  cleave  to  that 
which  is  good. 

10  Be  kindly  affectioned  one  to  an- 
other with  brotherly  love ;  in  honour 
preferring  one  another; 

11  Not  slothful  in  business;  fervent  in 
spirit;  serving  the  Lord; 

12  Rejoicing  in  hope;  patient  in  tribu- 
lation ;  continuing  instant  in  prayer ; 

13  Distributing  to  the  necessity  of 
saints;   given  to  hospitality. 

14  Bless  them  which  persecute  you : 
bless,  and  curse  not. 

15  Rejoice  with  them  that  do  rejoice, 
and  weep  with  them  that  weep. 

16  Be  of  the  same  mind  one  toward 
another.  Mind  not  high  things,  but  con- 
descend to  men  of  low  estate.  Be  not 
wise  in  your  own  conceits. 

17  Recompense  to  no  man  evil  for  evil. 
Provide  things  honest  in  "the  sight  of  all 
men. 

18  If  it  be  possible,  as  much  as  lieth 
in  you,  live  peaceably  with  all  men. 

19  Dearly  beloved,  avenge  not  your- 
selves, but  rather  give  place  unto  wrath : 
for  it  is  written,  Vengeance  is,  mine;  I 
will  repay,  saith  the  Lord. 

20  Therefore  if  thine   enemy  hunger,

feed  him;  if  he  thirst,  give  him  drink: 
for  in  so  doing  thou  shalt  heap  coals  of

Civil  Duties 
Romans  XIII:  1-14 

1  LET  every  soul  be  subject  unto  the 
higher  powers.  For  there  is  no  power 
but  of  God:  the  powers  that  be  are  or- 
dained of  God. 

2  Whosoever  therefore  resisteth  the 
power,  resisteth  the  ordinance  of  God : 
and  they  that  resist  shall  receive  to  them- 
selves damnation. 

3  For  rulers  are  not  a  terror  to  good 
works,  but  to  the  evil.  Wilt  thou  then 
not  be  afraid  of  the  power?  do  that 
which  is  good,  and  thou  shalt  have  praise 
of  the  same: 

4  For  he  is  the  minister  of  God  to  thee 
for  good.  But  if  thou  do  that  which  is 
evil,  be  afraid ;  for  he  beareth  not  the 
sword  in  vain :  for  he  is  the  minister  of 
God,  a  revenger  to  execute  wrath  upon 
him  that  doeth  evil. 

5  Wherefore  ye  must  needs  be  sub- 
ject, not  only  for  wrath,  but  also  for 
conscience'  sake. 

6  For,  for  this  cause  pay  ye  tribute 
also :  for  they  are  God's  ministers,  at- 
tending continually  upon  this  very  thing. 

7  Render  therefore  to  all  their  dues : 
tribute  to  whom  tribute  is  due;  custom 
to  whom  custom ;  fear  to  whom  fear ; 
honour  to  whom  honour. 

8  Owe  no  man  any  thing,  but  to  love 
one  another :  for  he  that  loveth  another 
hath   fulfilled   the   law. 

9  For  this,  Thou  shalt  not  commit 
adultery,  Thou  shalt  not  kill,  Thou  shalt 
not  steal,  Thou  shalt  not  bear  false  wit- 
ness, Thou  shalt  not  covet;  and  if  there 


be  any  other  commandment,  it  is  briefly 
comprehended  in  this  saying,  namely, 
Thou  shalt  love  thy  neighbour  as  thyself. 

10  Love  worketh  no  ill  to  his  neigh- 
bour :  therefore  love  is  the  fulfilling  of 
the  law. 

11  And  that,  knowing  the  time,  that 
now  it  is  high  time  to  awake  out  of 
sleep :  for  now  is  our  salvation  nearer 
than  when  we  believed. 

12  The  night  is  far  spent,  the  day  is 
at  hand :  let  us  therefore  cast  off  the 
works  of  darkness,  and  let  us  put  on  the 
armour  of  light. 

13  Let  us  walk  honestly,  as  in  the  day ; 
not  in  rioting  and  drunkenness,  not  in 
chambering  and  wantonness,  not  in  strife 
and  envying : 

14  But  put  ye  on  the  Lord  Jesus 
Christ,  and  make  not  provision  for  the 
flesh,  to  fulfil  the  lusts  thereof.

24  For  our  comely  parts  have  no  need : 
but  God  hath  tempered  the  body  to- 
gether, having  given  more  abundant 
honour  to  that  part  which   lacked  : 

25  That  there  should  be  no  schism  in 
the  body ;  but  that  the  members  should 
have  the  same  care  one  for  another.

Charity

1  THOUGH  I  speak  with  the  tongues 
of  men  and  of  angels,  and  have  not 
charity,  I  am  become  as  sounding  brass, 
or   a   tinkling   cymbal. 

2  And  though  I  have  the  gift  of 
prophecy,  and  understand  all  mysteries, 
and  all  knowledge ;  and  though  I  have 
all  faith,  so  that  I  could  remove  moun- 
tains, and  have  not  charity,  I  am  nothing. 

3  And  though  I  bestow  all  my  goods 
to  feed  the  poor,  and  though  I  give  my 
body  to  be  burned,  and  have  not  charity, 
it  profiteth  me  nothing. 

4  Charity  suffereth  long,  and  is  kind; 
charity  envieth  not ;  charity  vaunteth  not 
itself,  is  not  puffed  up, 

5  Doth  not  behave  itself  unseemly, 
seeketh  not  her  own,  is  not  easily  pro- 
voked, thinketh  no  evil ; 

6  Rejoiceth  not  in  iniquity,  but  re- 
joiceth   in   the  truth: 


7  Beareth  all  things,  believeth  all 
things,  hopeth  all  things,  endureth  all 
things. 

8  Charity  never  faileth :  but  whether 
there  be  prophecies,  they  shall  fail; 
whether  there  be  tongues,  they  shall 
cease;  whether  there  be  knowledge,  it 
shall  vanish  away. 

9  For  we  know  in  part,  and  we 
prophesy  in  part. 

10  But  when  that  which  is  perfect  is 
come,  then  that  which  is  in  part  shall  be 
done  away.

there  is  one  kind  of  flesh  of  men,  an-

40  There  are  also  celestial  bodies,  and

another  glory  of  the  moon,  and  another 
glory  of  the  stars;  for  one  star  differeth 
from  another  star  in  glory. 

42  So  also  is  the  resurrection  of  the 
dead.  It  is  sown  in  corruption,  it  is

Jesus,  giving  thanks  to  God  and  the

I  Tim.  II:  1-15 

1  THOU  therefore,  my  son,  be  strong 
in  the  grace  that  is  in  Christ  Jesus. 

2  And  the  things  that  thou  hast  heard 
of  me  among  many  witnesses,  the  same 
commit  thou  to  faithful  men,  who  shall 
be  able   to  teach  others  also. 

3  Thou  therefore  endure  hardness,  as 
a  good  soldier  of  Jesus   Christ. 

4  No  man  that  warreth  entangleth 
himself  with  the  affairs  of  this  life;  that 
he  may  please  him  who  hath  chosen  him 
to  be  a  soldier. 

5  And  if  a  man  also  strive  for  mas- 
teries, yet  is  he  not  crowned,  except 
he  strive   lawfully. 

6  The  husbandman  that  laboureth 
must  be  first  partaker  of  the  fruits. 


7  Consider  what  I  say;  and  the  Lord 
give  thee  understanding  in  all  things. 

8  Remember  that  Jesus  Christ  of  the 
seed  of  David  was  raised  from  the  dead, 
according  to  my  gospel : 

9  Wherein  I  suffer  trouble,  as  an  evil 
doer,  even  unto  bonds;  but  the  word  of 
God  is  not  bound. 

10  Therefore  I  endure  all  things  for 
the  elect's  sake,  that  they  may  also  obtain 
the  salvation  which  is  in  Christ  Jesus 
with  eternal  glory. 

11  It  is  a  faithful  saying:  For  if  we  be 
dead  with  him,  we  shall  also  live  with 
him : 

12  If  we  suffer,  we  shall  also  reign 
with  him:  if  we  deny  him,  he  also  will 
deny  us : 

13  If  we  believe  not,  yet  he  abideth 
faithful :    he    cannot    deny    himself. 

14  Of  these  things  put  them  in  remem- 
brance, charging  them  before  the  Lord 
that  they  strive  not  about  words  to  no 
profit,  but  to  the  subverting  of  the 
hearers. 

15  Study  to  shew  thyself  approved 
unto  God,  a  workman  that  needeth  not 
to  be  ashamed,  rightly  dividing  the  word 
of  truth.

The  Exaltation  of  Christ 
Heb.    I:  1-14 

1  GOD,  who  at  sundry  times  and  in 
divers  manners  spake  in  time  past  unto 
the  fathers  by  the  prophets, 

2  Hath  in  these  last  days  spoken  unto 
us  by  his  Son,  whom  he  hath  appointed 
heir  of  all  things,  by  whom  also  he  made 
the  worlds ; 

3  Who  being  the  brightness  of  his 
glory,  and  the  express  image  of  his 
person,  and  upholding  all  things  by  the 
word  of  his  power,  when  he  had  by  him- 
self purged  our  sins,  sat  down  on  the 
right  hand  of  the  Majesty  on  high; 

4  Being  macje  so  much  better  than  the

angels,    as    he    hath    by    inheritance    ob- 
tained a  more  excellent  name  than  they. 

5  For  unto  which  of  the  angels  said  he 
at  any  time,  Thou  art  my  Son,  this  day 
have  I  begotten  thee?  And  again,  I  will 
be  to  him  a  Father,  and  he  shall  be  to 
me  a  Son? 

6  And  again,  when  he  bringeth  in  the 
first-begotten  into  the  world,  he  saith, 
And  let  all  the  angels  of  God  worship 
him. 

7  And  of  the  angels  he  saith,  Who 
maketh  his  angels  spirits,  and  his  minis- 
ters a  flame  of  fire. 

8  But  unto  the  Son  he  saith,  Thy 
throne,  O  God,  is  for  ever  and  ever :  a 
sceptre  of  righteousness  is  the  sceptre  of 
thy  kingdom. 

9  Thou  hast  loved  righteousness,  and 
hated  iniquity;  therefore  God,  even  thy 
God,  hath  anointed  thee  with  the  oil  of 
gladness   above  thy   fellows. 

10  And  Thou,  Lord,  in  the  beginning 
hast  laid  the  foundation  of  the  earth ; 
and  the  heavens  are  the  works  of  thine 
hands. 

11  They  shall  perish,  but  thou  remain- 
est :  and  they  all  shall  wax  old  as  doth 
a   garment ;

but  thou  art  the  same,  and  thy  years 
shall  not  fail.

I  make  thine  enemies  thy  footstool  ?

A   Rest  for  the  People  of  God

io  For  he  that  is  entered  into  his

ii  Let  us  labour  therefore  to  enter

the   same   example   of  unbelief.

viding asunder  of  soul  and  spirit,  and  of

is  not  manifest  in  his  sight :  but  all 
things  are  naked  and  opened  unto  the 
eyes  of  him  with  whom  we  have  to  do. 

14  Seeing  then  that  we  have  a  great 
high  priest,  that  is  passed  into  the 
heavens,  Jesus  the  Son  of  God,  let  us 
hold   fast   our  profession.

cannot  be  touched  with  the  feeling  of

tempted  like  as  we  are,  yet  without  sin.

Faith 
Heb.   XI:i-io 

1  NOW  faith  is  the  substance  of  things 
hoped  for,  the  evidence  of  things  not 
seen. 

2  For  by  it  the  elders  obtained  a  good 
report. 

3  Through  faith  we  understand  that 
the  worlds  were  framed  by  the  word 
of  God,  so  that  things  which  are  seen 
were  not  made  of  things  which  do  ap- 
pear. 

4  By  faith  Abel  offered  unto  God  a 
more  excellent  sacrifice  than  Cain,  by 
which  he  obtained  witness  that  he  was 


righteous,    God    testifying    of   his    gifts: 
and  by  it  he  being  dead  yet  speaketh. 

5  By  faith  Enoch  was  translated  that 
he  should  not  see  death ;  and  was  not 
found,  because  God  had  translated  him : 
for  before  his  translation  he  had  this 
testimony,   that   he  pleased   God. 

6  But  without  faith  it  is  impossible  to 
please  him:  for  he  that  cometh  to  God 
must  believe  that  he  is,  and  that  he  is  a 
rewarder  of  them  that  diligently  seek 
him. 

7  By  faith  Noah,  being  warned  of  God 
of  things  not  seen  as  yet,  moved  with 
fear,  prepared  an  ark  to  the  saving  of 
his  house;  by  the  which  he  condemned 
the  world,  and  became  heir  of  the  right- 
eousness which  is  by   faith. 

8  By  faith  Abraham,  when  he  was 
called  to  go  out  into  a  place  which  he 
should  after  receive  for  an  inheritance., 
obeyed ;  and  he  went  out,  not  knowing 
whither  he  went. 

9  By  faith  he  sojourned  in  the  land  of 
promise,  as  in  a  strange  country,  dwell- 
ing in  tabernacles  with  Isaac  and  Jacob, 
the  heirs  with  him  of  the  same  promise :

he  whom  the   father  chasteneth  not? 

8  But  if  ye  be  without  chastisement, 
whereof  all  are  partakers,  then  are  ye 
bastards,  and  not  sons.

chastened  us  after  their  own  pleasure ;

faith   worketh   patience. 

4  But  let  patience  have  her  perfect 
work,  that  ye  may  be  perfect  and  entire, 
wanting  nothing. 


5  If  any  of  you  lack  wisdom,  let  him 
ask  of  God,  that  giveth  to  all  men  liber- 
ally, and  upbraideth  not ;  and  it  shall  be 
given  him. 

6  But  let  him  ask  in  faith,  nothing 
wavering :  for  he  that  wavereth  is  like  a 
wave  of  the  sea  driven  with  the  wind 
and  tossed. 

7  For  let  not  that  man  think  that  he 
shall  receive  any  thing  of  the  Lord. 

8  A  doubleminded  man  is  unstable  in 
all  his  ways. 

9  Let  the  brother  of  low  degree  rejoice 
in  that  he   is   exalted : 

10  But  the  rich,  in  that  he  is  made 
low :  because  as  the  flower  of  the  grass

11  For  the  sun  is  no  sooner  risen  with

and  the  flower  thereof  falleth,  and  the 
grace  of  the  fashion  of  it  perisheth :  so 
also  shall  the  rich  man  fade  away  in  his 
ways. 

12  Blessed  is  the  man  that  endureth 
temptation :  for  when  he  is  tried  he  shall 
receive  the  crown  of  life,  which  the  Lord 
hath  promised  to  them  that  love  him. 

13  Let  no  man  say  when  he  is  tempted, 
I  am  tempted  of  God :  for  God  cannot  be 
tempted  with  evil,  neither  tempteth  he 
any  man : 

14  But  every  man  is  tempted,  when  he 
is  drawn  away  of  his  own  lust,  and  en- 
ticed.

bringeth  forth  sin ;  and  sin,  when  it  is

4  He  that  saith,  I  know  him,  and 
keepeth  not  his  commandments,  is  a  liar, 
and  the  truth  is  not  in  him.

born  of  God. 

io  In  this  the  children  of  God  are 
manifest,  and  the  children  of  the  devil : 
whosoever  doeth  not  righteousness  is  not 
of  God,  neither  he  that  loveth  not  his 
brother. 

ii  For  this  is  the  message  that  ye 
heard  from  the  beginning,  that  we  should 
love  one  another.

Brotherly  Love 
I  John  IV :  10-21 

10  HEREIN  is  love,  not  that  we  loved 
God,  but  that  he  loved  us,  and  sent  his 
Son  to  be  the  propitiation  for  our  sins. 

11  Beloved,  if  God  so  loved  us,  we 
ought  also  to  love  one  another. 

12  No  man  hath  seen  God  at  any  time. 
If  we  love  one  another,  God  dwelleth  in 
us,  and  his  love  is  perfected  in  us. 


13  Hereby  know  we  that  we  dwell  in 
him,  and  he  in  us,  because  he  hath  given 
us  of  his  Spirit. 

14  And  we  have  seen  and  do  testify 
that  the  Father  sent  the  Son  to  be  the 
Saviour  of  the  world. 

15  Whosoever  shall  confess  that  Jesus 
is  the  Son  of  God,  God  dwelleth  in  him, 
and  he  in  God. 

16  And  we  have  known  and  believed 
the  love  that  God  hath  to  us.  God  is 
love;  and  he  that  dwelleth  in  love 
dwelleth  in  God,  and  God  in  him. 

17  Herein  is  our  love  made  perfect, 
that  we  may  have  boldness  in  the  day 
of  judgment:  because  as  he  is,  so  are 
we  in  this  world. 

18  There  is  no  fear  in  love ;  but  per- 
fect love  casteth  out  fear :  because  fear 
hath  torment.  He  that  feareth  is  not 
made  perfect  in  love. 

19  We  love  him,  because  he  first  loved 
us. 

20  If  a  man  say,  I  love  God,  and  hateth 
his  brother,  he  is  a  liar :  for  he  that 
loveth  not  his  brother  whom  he  hath 
seen,  how  can  he  love  God  whom  he 
hath  not  seen? 

21  And  this  commandment  have  we 
from  him,  That  he  who  loveth  God  love 
his  brother  also.

The  Three  Witnesses 
I  John  V:  1-13 

1  WHOSOEVER  believeth  that  Jesus 
is  the  Christ  is  born  of  God :  and  every 
one  that  loveth  him  that  begat  loveth 
him  also  that  is  begotten  of  him. 

2  By  this  we  know  that  we  love  the 
children  of  God,  when  we  love  God,  and 
keep  his  commandments. 

3  For  this  is  the  love  of  God,  that  we 
keep  his  commandments :  and  his  com- 
mandments are  not  grievous. 

4  For  whatsoever  is  born  of  God  over-

iResponstve  IReaMngs 


Cometh  the  world :  and  this  is  the  vic- 
tory that  overcometh  the  world,  even  our 
faith. 

5  Who  is  he  that  overcometh  the 
world,  but  he  that  believeth  that  Jesus  is 
the  Son  of  God? 

6  This  is  he  that  came  by  water  and 
blood,  even  Jesus  Christ ;  not  by  water 
only,  but  by  water  and  blood.  And  it  is 
the  Spirit  that  beareth  witness,  because 
the  Spirit  is  truth. 

7  For  there  are  three  that  bear  record 
in  heaven,  the  Father,  the  Word,  and  the 
Holy  Ghost :  and  these  three  are  one. 

8  And  there  are  three  that  bear  wit- 
ness in  earth,  the  spirit,  and  the  water, 
and  the  blood :  and  these  three  agree  in 
one. 

9  If  we  receive  the  witness  of  men, 
the  witness  of  God  is  greater:  for  this 
is  the  witness  of  God  which  he  hath 
testified  of  his  Son. 

io  He  that  believeth  on  the  Son  of 
God  hath  the  witness  in  himself  :  he  that 
believeth  not  God  hath  made  him  a  liar ; 
because  he  believeth  not  the  record  that 
God  gave  of  his  Son. 

ii  And  this  is  the  record,  that  God 
hath  given  to  us  eternal  life,  and  this 
life  is  in  his  Son. 

12  He  that  hath  the  Son  hath  life;  and 
he  that  hath  not  the  Son  of  God  hath 
not  life. 

13  These  things  have  I  written  unto 
you  that  believe  on  the  name  of  the  Son 
of  God ;  that  ye  may  know  that  ye  have 
eternal  life,  and  that  ye  may  believe  on 
the  name  of  the  Son  of  God.

The  Heavenly  Throne 

Rev.  IV:  i-n 

1  AFTER  this  I  looked,  and,  behold, 
a  door  was  opened  in  heaven :  and  the 
first  voice  which  I  heard  was  as  it  were 


of  a  trumpet  talking  with  me;  which 
said,  Come  up  hither,  and  I  will  shew 
thee  things  which  must  be  hereafter. 

2  And  immediately  I  was  in  the  Spirit : 
and,  behold,  a  throne  was  set  in  heaven, 
and  one  sat  on  the  throne. 

3  And  he  that  sat  was  to  look  upon 
like  a  jasper  and  a  sardine  stone:  and 
there  was  a  rainbow  round  about  the 
throne,  in  sight  like  unto  an  emerald. 

4  And  round  about  the  throne  mere 
four  and  twenty  seats :  and  upon  the 
seats  I  saw  four  and  twenty  elders  sit- 
ting, clothed  in  white  raiment ;  and  they 
had  on  their  heads  crowns  of  gold. 

5  And  out  of  the  throne  proceeded 
lightnings  and  thunderings  and  voices : 
and  there  mere  seven  lamps  of  fire  burn- 
ing before  the  throne,  which  are  the 
seven  Spirits  of  God. 

6  And  before  the  throne  there  was  a 
sea  of  glass  like  unto  crystal :  and  in 
the  midst  of  the  throne,  and  round  about 
the  throne,  were  four  beasts  full  of 
eyes  before  and  behind. 

7  And  the  first  beast  was  like  a  lion, 
and  the  second  beast  like  a  calf,  and 
the  third  beast  had  a  face  as  a  man, 
and  the  fourth  beast  was  like  a  flying 
eagle. 

8  And  the  four  beasts  had  each  of 
them  six  wings  about  him;  and  they 
were  full  of  eyes  within  :  and  they  rest 
not  day  and  night,  saying,  Holy,  holy, 
holy,  Lord  God  Almighty,  which  was, 
and  is,  and  is  to  come. 

9  And  when  those  beasts  give  glory 
and  honour  and  thanks  to  him  that  sat 
on  the  throne,  who  liveth  for  ever  and 
ever, 

10  The  four  and  twenty  elders  fall 
down  before  him  that  sat  on  the  throne, 
and  worship  him  that  liveth  for  ever  and 
ever,  and  cast  their  crowns  before  the 
throne,  saying, 

11  Thou  art  worthy,  O  Lord,  to  re- 
ceive glory  and  honour  and  power :  for

The  New  Jerusalem 
Rev.  XXI :  1-7 

1  AND  I  saw  a  new  heaven  and  a  new 
earth  :  for  the  first  heaven  and  the  first 
earth  were  passed  away;  and  there  was 
no  more  sea. 

2  And  I  John  saw  the  holy  city,  new 
Jerusalem,  coming  down  from  God  out 
of  heaven,  prepared  as  a  bride  adorned 
for  her  husband. 

3  And  I  heard  a  great  voice  out  of 
heaven  saying,  Behold,  the  tabernacle 
of  God  is  with  men,  and  he  will  dwell 
with  them,  and  they  shall  be  his  people, 


and  God  himself  shall  be  with  them,  and 
be  their  God. 

4  And  God  shall  wipe  away  all  tears 
from  their  eyes ;  and  there  shall  be  no 
more  death,  neither  sorrow,  nor  crying, 
neither  shall  there  be  any  more  pain: 
for  the  former  things  are  passed  away. 

5  And  he  that  sat  upon  the  throne 
said,  Behold,  I  make  all  things  new. 
And  he  said  unto  me,  Write :  for  these 
words  are  true  and  faithful. 

6  And  he  said  unto  me,  It  is  done. 
I  am  Alpha  and  Omega,  the  beginning 
and  the  end.  I  will  give  unto  him  that 
is  athirst  of  the  fountain  of  the  water  of 
life   freely. 

7  He  that  overcometh  shall  inherit  all 
things ;  and  I  will  be  his  God,  and  he 
shall  be  my  son.

Lord,  when  we  bend  before  Thy  throne 
Love  Divine,  all  loves  excelling 


Majestic  sweetness  sits  enthroned 
More  love  to  Thee,  O  Christ  .  .  . 
Much  in  danger,  oft  in  woe 

See  Oft  in  danger 

Must  Jesus  bear  the  cross  alone     . 

My  country,  'tis  of  thee 

My  days  are  gliding  swiftly  by  .  . 
My  dear  Redeemer  and  my  Lord  . 
My  faith  looks  up  to  Thee  .... 
My  God  and  Father,  while  I  stray 
My  God,  and  is  Thy  table  spread 
My  God,  how  endless  is  Thy  love 
My  God,  is  any  hour  so  sweet  .  . 
My  God,  my  Father,  while  I  stray 

See  My  God  and  Father 258

O  happy  band  of  pilgrims  .... 
O  help  us,  Lord ;  each  hour  of  need 
O  Holy  Saviour,  Friend  unseen

OUR  FATHER  which  art  in  heaven,  hallowed  be  Thy  Name  ;  Thy  king- 
dom come  ;  Thy  will  be  done  in  earth  as  it  is  in  heaven  ;  give  us  this  day 
our  daily  bread  ;  and  forgive  us  our  debts,  as  we  forgive  our  debtors  ; 
and  lead  us  not  into  temptation,  but  deliver  us  from  evil  ;  for  thine  is 
the  kingdom,  and  the  power,  and  the  glory,  for  ever.     amen. 

3H)e  2Ten  Commantimnttg 

GOD  spake  all  these  words,  saying,  I  am  the  Lord  thy  God,  which  have  brought 
(thee  out  of  the  land  of  Egypt,  out  of  the  house  of  bondage. 
I.    Thou  shalt  have  no  other  gods  before  Me. 

II.  Thou  shalt  not  make  unto  thee  any  graven  image,  or  any  likeness  of  any 
thing  that  is  in  heaven  above,  or  that  is  in  the  earth  beneath,  or  that  is  in  the  water 
under  the  earth  :  thou  shalt  not  bow  down  thyself  to  them,  nor  serve  them :  for  I 
the  Lord  thy  God  am  a  jealous  God,  visiting  the  iniquity  of  the  fathers  upon  the 
children  unto  the  third  and  fourth  generation  of  them  that  hate  Me  ;  and  showing 
mercy  unto  thousands  of  them  that  love  Me,  and  keep  My  commandments. 

III.  Thou  shalt  not  take  the  Name  of  the  Lord  thy  God  in  vain  ;  for  the  Lord 
will  not  hold  him  guiltless  that  taketh  His  Name  in  vain. 

IV.  Remember  the  Sabbath-day,  to  keep  it  holy.  Six  days  shalt  thou  labor,  and 
do  all  thy  work  :  but  the  seventh  day  is  the  Sabbath  of  the  Lord  thy  God  ;  in  it 
thou  shalt  not  do  any  work,  thou,  nor  thy  son,  nor  thy  daughter,  thy  man-servant, 
nor  thy  maid-servant,  nor  thy  cattle,  nor  thy  stranger  that  is  within  thy  gates  ;  for  in 
six  days  the  Lord  made  heaven  and  earth,  the  sea,  and  all  that  in  them  is,  and 
rested  the  seventh  day  :  wherefore  the  Lord  blessed  the  Sabbath-day  and  hallowed  it. 

V.    Honor  thy  father  and  thy  mother  :  that  thy  days  may  be  long  upon  the  land 
which  the  Lord  thy  God  giveth  thee. 
VI.    Thou  shalt  not  kill. 
VII.    Thou  shalt  not  commit  adultery. 
VIII.    Thou  shalt  not  steal. 
IX.    Thou  shalt  not  bear  false  witness  against  thy  neighbor. 
X.    Thou  shalt  not  covet  thy  neighbor's  house,  thou  shalt  not  covet  thy  neigh- 
bor's wife,  nor  his  man-servant,  nor  his  maid-servant,  nor  his  ox,  nor  his  ass,  nor 
any  thing  that  is  thy  neighbor's. 

HEAR  also  the  words  of  our  Lord  Jesus,  how  He  saith  :  Thou  shalt  love  the 
Lord  thy  God  with  all  thy  heart,  and  with  all  thy  soul,  and  with  all  thy  mind.  This 
is  the  first  and  great  commandment.  And  the  second  is  like  unto  it :  Thou  shalt 
love  thy  neighbor  as  thyself.  On  these  two  commandments  hang  all  the  law  and 
the  prophets. 

€\)t  &postIeg'  Creeti 

I  BELIEVE  in  God  the  Father  Almighty,  Maker  of  heaven  and  earth  : 
And  in  Jesus  Christ  His  only  Son  our  Lord ;  who  was  conceived  by  the  Holy 
Ghost ;  born  of  the  Virgin  Mary  ;  suffered  under  Pontius  Pilate  ;  was  crucified, 
dead,  and  buried  ;  He  descended  into  hell  ;  *  the  third  day  Pie  rose  again  from  the 
dead  ;  He  ascended  into  heaven  ;  and  sitteth  on  the  right  hand  of  God  the  Father 
Almighty  ;  from  thence  He  shall  come  to  judge  the  quick  and  the  dead. 

I  believe  in  the  Holy  Ghost  ;  the  holy  Catholic  Church  ;  the  Communion  of 
Saints  ;  the  Forgiveness  of  sins  ;  the  Resurrection  of  the  body  ;  and  the  Life  ever- 
lasting.    Amen. 

*  i.  e.  Continued  in  the  state  of  the  dead  and  under  the  power  of  death  until  the  third  day.

5  All  praise  to  Thee,  who  safe  hast  kept, 
And  hast  refreshed  me  whilst  I  slept:

From  Thy  living  Bread,  O  Lord  !

1  LORD,  in  the  morning  Thou  shalt  hear 

My  voice  ascending  high  ; 
To  Thee  will  I  direct  my  prayer, 
To  Thee  lift  up  mine  eye : 

2  Up  to  the  hills,  where  Christ  is  gone 

To  plead  for  all  His  saints, 
Presenting  at  His  Father's  throne 
Our  songs  and  our  complaints. 

3  Thou  art  a  God  before  whose  sight 

The  wicked  shall  not  stand  ; 


Sinners  shall  ne'er  be  Thy  delight, 
Nor  dwell  at  Thy  right  hand. 

4  But  to  Thy  house  will  I  resort, 

To  taste  Thy  mercies  there ; 
I  will  frequent  Thy  holy  court, 
And  worship  in  Thy  fear. 

5  O  may  Thy  Spirit  guide  my  feet 

In  ways  of  righteousness  ; 
Make  every  path  of  duty  straight 
And  plain  before  my  face.

«  I  love  in  solitude  to  shed 
The  penitential  tear, 
And  all  His  promises  to  plead 
Where  none  but  God  can  hear. 

3  I  love  to  think  on  mercies  past, 
And  future  good  implore, 
And  all  my  cares  and  sorrows  cast 
On  Him  whom  I  adore. 

WARWICK    C.  M. 


4  I  love  by  faith  to  take  a  view 

Of  brighter  scenes  in  heaven  ; 
The  prospect  doth  my  strength  renew 
While  here  by  tempests  driven. 

5  Thus,  when  life's  toilsome  day  is  o'er, 

May  its  departing  ray 
Be  calm  as  this  impressive  hour, 
And  lead  to  endless  day.

Sun  of  my    soul,    Thou   Sav  -  iour  dear,      It   is  not    night     if      Thou     be    near; 


O  may  no  earth-born  cloud  a  -  rise    To  hide  Thee  from  Thy  servant's  eyes.   A  -  MEN.

2  When  the  soft  dews  of  kindly  sleep 
My  wearied  eyelids  gently  steep, 

Be  my  last  thought,  how  sweet  to  rest 
For  ever  on  my  Saviour's  breast. 

3  Abide  with  me  from  morn  till  eve, 
For  without  Thee  I  cannot  live ; 
Abide  with  me  when  night  is  nigh, 
For  without  Thee  I  dare  not  die. 


4  If  some  poor  wandering  child  of  Thine 
Have  spurned  to-day  the  voice  Divine, 
Now,  Lord,  the  gracious  work  begin ; 
Let  him  no  more  lie  down  in  sin. 

5  Watch  by  the  sick  ;  enrich  the  poor 
With  blessings  from  Thy  boundlessstore; 
Be  every  mourner's  sleep  to-night, 
Like  infants'  slumbers,  pure  and  light. 


6  Come  near  and  bless  us  when  we  wake, 
Ere  through  the  world  our  way  we  take, 
Till  in  the  ocean  of  Thy  love 
We  lose  ourselves  in  heaven  above. 

Rev.  John  Keble,  1820 

6     (TALLIS'S  EVENING   HYMN)     L.  M. 

1  ALL  praise  to  Thee, my  God,  this  night,  3  O  may  my  soul  on  Thee  repose, 

For  all  the  blessings  of  the  light ;  And  with  sweet  sleep  mine  eyelids  close ; 

Keep  me,  O  keep  me,  King  of  kings,     Sleep  that  may  me  more  vigorous  make 
Beneath  Thy  own  almighty  wings.  To  serve  my  God  when  I  awake. 

2  Forgive  me,  Lord,  for  Thy  dear  Son,    4  When  in  the  night  I  sleepless  lie, 
The  ill  that  I  this  day  have  done  ;  My  soul  with  heavenly  thoughts  supply; 
That  with  the  world,  myself,  and  Thee,  Let  no  ill  dreams  disturb  my  rest, 

I,  ere  I  sleep,  at  peace  may  be.  No  powers  of  darkness  me  molest. 

5  O  when  shall  I  in  endless  day 
For  ever  chase  dark  sleep  away, 
And  hymns  with  the  supernal  choir 
Incessant  sing,  and  never  tire  !

So  fade  within  our  heart 
The  hopes  in  earthly  love  and  joy 

That  one  by  one  depart. 
Slowly  the  bright  stars,  one  by  one,

2  Swift  to  its  close  ebbs  out  life's  little  day ;

3  I  need  Thy  presence  every  passing  hour ; 

What  but  Thy  grace  can  foil  the  tempter's  power? 
Who  like  Thyself  my  guide  and  stay  can  be  ? 
Through  cloud  and  sunshine,  O  abide  with  me. 

4  I  fear  no  foe,  with  Thee  at  hand  to  bless : 
Ills  have  no  weight,  and  tears  no  bitterness. 
Where  is  death's  sting?  where,  grave,  thy  victory? 

1  triumph  still,  if  Thou  abide  with  me. 

5  Hold  Thou  Thy  cross  before  my  closing  eyes ; 
Shine  through  the  gloom,  and  point  me  to  the  skies : 
Heaven's  morning  breaks,  and  earth's  vain  shadows  flee : 
In  life,  in  death,  O  Lord,  abide  with  me.  •

Nor  guard  them  through  the  hours  of

O  God,  for  Thou  dost  know 
How  many  are  the  perils 

Through  which  I  have  to  go. 
Lover  of  men,  O  hear  my  call, 
And  guard  and  save  me  from  them  all.

2  On  Thee  our  whole  reliance 

From  day  to  day  we  cast, 
To  Thee,  with  firm  affiance, 

Would  cleave  from  first  to  last ; 
To  Thee,  through  Jesus'  merit, 

For  needful  grace  we  come, 
And  trust  that  Thy  good  Spirit 

Will  guide  us  safely  home. 


3  What  may  be  on  the  morrow 

Our  foresight  cannot  see  ; 
But  be  it  joy  or  sorrow, 

We  know  it  comes  from  Thee. 
And  nothing  can  take  from  us, 

Where'er  our  steps  may  move, 
The  staff  of  Thy  sure  promise, 

The  shield  of  Thy  true  love.

Let  evil  thoughts  and  spirits  flee  before  us ; 
Till  morning  cometh,  watch,  O  Master,  o'er  us ; 
In  soul  and  body  Thou  from  harm  defend  us, 
Thine  angels  send  us. 

Let  holy  thoughts  be  ours  when  sleep  o'ertakes  us ; 
Our  earliest  thoughts  be  Thine  when  morning  wakes  us ; 
All  day  serve  Thee,  in  all  that  we  are  doing 
Thy  praise  pursuing. 

As  Thy  beloved,  soothe  the  sick  and  weeping, 
And  bid  the  prisoner  lose  his  griefs  in  sleeping ; 
Widows  and  orphans,  we  to  Thee  commend  them, 
Do  Thou  befriend  them. 

We  have  no  refuge,  none  on  earth  to  aid  us, 
Save  Thee,  O  Father,  who  Thine  own  hast  made  us ; 
But  Thy  dear  presence  will  not  leave  them  lonely, 
Who  seek  Thee  only.

1  WELCOME,  sweet  day  of  rest, 

That  saw  the  Lord  arise  : 
Welcome  to  this  reviving  breast, 
And  these  rejoicing  eyes. 

2  The  King  Himself  comes  near,  4  My  willing  soul  would  stay 

And  feasts  His  saints  to-day  ;  In  such  a  frame  as  this, 

Here  we  may  sit,  and  see  Him  here,       And  wait  to  hail  the  brighter  day 
And  love,  and  praise,  and  pray.  Of  everlasting  bliss. 

Rev.  Isaac  Watts,  1709  :  verse  4,  11.  3,  4,  alt. 


4  May  Thy  gospel's  joyful  sound 
Conquer  sinners,  comfort  saints ; 
May  the  fruits  of  grace  abound, 

Bring  relief  for  all  complaints  : 
Thus  may  all  our  Sabbaths  prove 
Till  we  join  the  Church  above. 

Rev.  John  Newton,  1774:  alt. 


3  One  day  amidst  the  place 

Where  my  dear  God  hath  been, 
Is  sweeter  than  ten  thousand  days 
Of  pleasurable  sin.

2  Come, bless  the  Lord,  whose  love  assigns  4  This  heavenly  calm  within  the  breast 
So  sweet  a  rest  to  wearied  minds,  Is  the  dear  pledge  of  glorious  rest 
Provides  an  antepast  of  heaven,  Which  for  the  Church  of  God  remains, 
And  gives  this  day  the  food  of  seven.     The  end  of  cares,  the  end  of  pains. 

3  O  that  our  thoughts  and  thanks  may  rise,  5  In  holy  duties  let  the  day, 
As  grateful  incense,  to  the  skies  ;  In  holy  pleasures,  pass  away  : 

And  draw  from  heaven  that  sweet  repose    How  sweet  a  Sabbath  thus  to  spend, 
Which  none  but  he  that  feels  it  knows.     In  hope  of  one  that  ne'er  shall  end.

New  graces  ever  gaining 

From  this  our  day  of  rest, 
We  reach  the  rest  remaining 

To  spirits  of  the  blest. 
To  Holy  Ghost  be  praises, 

To  Father,  and  to  Son  ; 
The  Church  her  voice  upraises 

To  Thee,  blest  Three  in  One. 

Bishop  Christopher  Wordsworth,  1862 


To-day  on  weary  nations 

The  heavenly  manna  falls  : 
To  holy  convocations 

The  silver  trumpet  calls, 
Where  gospel  light  is  glowing 

With  pure  and  radiant  beams, 
And  living  water  flowing 

With  soul- refreshing  streams.

Which  is  not  wholly  Thine. 

Let  faith  each  meek  petition  fill,

And  teach  our  hearts  '  tis  goodness  still 

That  grants  it,  or  denies.

2  For  Thou,  within  no  walls  confined,   4  Here  may  we  prove  the  power  of  prayer 
Inhabitest  the  humble  mind  ;  To  strengthen  faith,  and  sweeten  care, 
Such  ever  bring  Thee  where  they  come,    To  teach  our  faint  desires  to  rise, 
And  going,  take  Thee  to  their  home.     And  bring  all  heaven  before  our  eyes. 

3  Dear  Shepherd  of  Thy  chosen  few,     5  Lord,  we  are  few,  but  Thou  art  near; 
Thy  former  mercies  here  renew;  Nor  short  Thine  arm, nor  deaf  Thine  ear: 
Here  to  our  waiting  hearts  proclaim      O  rend  the  heavens,come  quickly  down,

O  come,  great  Spirit,  come. 

2  Come  as  the  light ;  to  us  reveal 

Our  emptiness  and  woe  ; 
And  lead  us  in  those  paths  of  life 
Whe*e  all  the  righteous  go. 

3  Corneas  the  fire  ;  and  purge  our  hearts. 

Like  sacrificial  flame : 


Let  our  whole  soul  an  offering  be 
To  our  Redeemer's  Name. 

4  Come  as  the  dove ;  and  spread  Thy 

The  wings  of  peaceful  love  ;  [wings, 
And  let  Thy  Church  on  earth  become 
Blest  as  Thy  Church  above. 

5  Spirit  Divine,  attend  our  prayers ; 

Make  a  lost  world  Thy  home ; 
Descend  with  all  Thy  gracious  powers,

While  thy  glorious  praise  is  sung, 
Touch  my  lips,  unloose  my  tongue 
That  my  joyful  soul  may  bless 
Thee,  the  Lord  my  Righteousness 


ft 


Now  rule  in  every  heart, 
And  ne'er  from  us  depart, 
Spirit  of  power. 

To  the  great  One  in  Three 
Eternal  praises  be 

Hence  evermore. 
His  sovereign  majesty 
May  we  in  glory  see. 
And  to  eternity 

Love  and  adore. 

Anon.  c.  1757 


3  While  the  prayers  of  saints  ascend, 
God  of  love,  to  mine  attend ; 
Hear  me,  for  Thy  Spirit  pleads  ; 
Hear,  for  Jesus  intercedes. 

4  While  I  hearken  to  Thy  law, 
Fill  my  soul  with  humble  awe, 
Till  Thy  gospel  bring  to  me 
Life  and  immortality. 


From  Thy  house  when  I  return, 
May  my  heart  within  me  burn, 
And  at  evening  let  me  say, — 
I  have  walked  with  God  to-day.

2  O  we  would  bless  Thee  for  Thy  ceaseless  care, 
And  all  Thy  works  from  day  to  day  declare : 
Is  not  our  life  with  hourly  mercies  crowned? 
Does  not  Thine  arm  encircle  us  around? 

3  Alas,  unworthy  of  Thy  boundless  love, 

Too  oft  with  careless  feet  from  Thee  we  rove ; 
But  now,  encouraged  by  Thy  voice,  we  come, 
Returning  sinners  to  a  Father's  home. 

4  O  by  that  Name  in  whom  all  fulness  dwells, 
O  by  that  love  which  every  love  excels, 

O  by  that  blood  so  freely  shed  for  sin, 
Open  blest  mercy's  gate,  and  take  us  in.

With  Thee  began,  with  Thee  shall  end  the  day : 
Guard  Thou  the  lips  from  sin,  the  hearts  from  shame, 
That  in  this  house  have  called  upon  Thy  Name. 

3  Grant  us  Thy  peace,  Lord,  through  the  coming  night ; 
Turn  Thou  for  us  its  darkness  into  light ; 

From  harm  and  danger  keep  Thy  children  free, 
For  dark  and  light  are  both  alike  to  Thee. 

4  Grant  us  Thy  peace  throughout  our  earthly  life, 
Our  balm  in  sorrow,  and  our  stay  in  strife ; 
Then,  when  Thy  voice  shall  bid  our  conflict  cease, 
Call  us,  O  Lord,  to  Thine  eternal  peace.

i  STILL  with  Thee,  O  my  God,  3  With  Thee  amid  the  crowd 

I  would  desire  to  be,  That  throngs  the  busy  mart, 

By  day,  by  night;  at  home,  abroad,      To  hear  Thy  voice,  where  time's  is  loud. 
I  would  be  still  with  Thee.  Speak  softly  to  my  heart. 


2  With  Thee  when  dawn  comes  in 
And  calls  me  back  to  care, 
Each  day  returning  to  begin 
With  Thee,  my  God,  in  prayer. 


4  With  Thee  when  day  is  done, 
And  evening  calms  the  mind  ; 
The  setting  as  the  rising  sun 
With  Thee  my  heart  would  find. 


5  With  Thee,  in  Thee,  by  faith 
Abiding,  I  would  be  ; 
By  day,  by  night,  in  life,  in  death, 
I  would  be  still  with  Thee.

GOD  moves  in  a  mysterious  way 

His  wonders  to  perform  ; 
He  plants  His  footsteps  in  the  sea, 

And  rides  upon  the  storm. 

Deep  in  unfathomable  mines 

Of  never-failing  skill 
He  treasures  up  His  bright  designs, 

And  works  His  sovereign  will. 

Ye  fearful  saints,  fresh  courage  take ; 
The  clouds  ye  so  much  dread 


Are  big  with  mercy,  and  shall  break 
In  blessings  on  your  head. 

Judge  not  the  Lord  by  feeble  sense, 
But  trust  Him  for  His  grace ; 

Behind  a  frowning  providence 
He  hides  a  smiling  face. 

Blind  unbelief  is  sure  to  err, 
And  scan  His  work  in  vain ; 

God  is  His  own  Interpreter, 
And  He  will  make  it  plain.

2  The  unwearied  sun,  from  day  to  day, 
Does  his  Creator's  power  display, 
And  publishes  to  every  land 

The  work  of  an  almighty  hand. 

3  Soon  as  the  evening  shades  prevail, 
The  moon  takes  up  the  wondrous  tale, 
And  nightly  to  the  listening  earth 
Repeats  the  story  of  her  birth ; 

4  Whilst  all  the  stars  that  round  her  burn, 
And  all  the  planets  in  their  turn, 


38 


Confirm  the  tidings  as  they  roll, 
And  spread  the  truth  from  pole  to  pole. 

5  What  though  in  solemn  silence  all 
Move  round  the  dark  terrestrial  ball? 
What  though  nor  real  voice  nor  sound 
Amid  their  radiant  orbs  be  found  ? 

6  In  reason's  ear  they  all  rejoice, 
And  utter  forth  a  glorious  voice ; 
For  ever  singing,  as  they  shine, 
"  The  hand  that  made  us  is  Divine." 

Joseph  Addison,  1712

1  HIGH  in  the  heavens,  Eternal  God, 
Thy  goodness  in  full  glory  shines ; 
Thy  truth  shall  break  through  every  cloud 
That  veils  and  darkens  Thy  designs. 

2  For  ever  firm  Thy  justice  stands, 
As  mountains  their  foundations  keep ; 
Wise  are  the  wonders  of  Thy  hands ; 
Thy  judgments  are  a  mighty  deep. 

3  Thy  providence  is  kind  and  large, 
Both  man  and  beast  Thy  bounty  share  ; 


The  whole  creation  is  Thy  charge, 
But  saints  are  Thy  peculiar  care. 

4  From  the  provisions  of  Thy  house 
We  shall  be  fed  with  sweet  repast ; 
There  mercy  like  a  river  flows, 
And  brings  salvation  to  our  taste. 

5  Life,  like  a  fountain,  rich  and  free, 
Springs  from  the  presence  of  my  Lord? 
And  in  Thy  light  our  souls  shall  see 
The  glories  promised  in  Thy  word.

For  His  mercies  aye  endure, 
Ever  faithful,  ever  sure.

i  SONGS  of  praise  the  angels  sang, 
Heaven  with  alleluias  rang, 
When  Jehovah's  work  begun, 
When  He  spake,  and  it  was  done. 

2  Songs  of  praise  awoke  the  morn, 
When  the  Prince  of  Peace  was  born 
Songs  of  praise  arose,  when  He 
Captive  led  captivity. 


3  Heaven  and  earth  must  pass  away, 
Songs  of  praise  shall  crown  that  day  ; 
God  will  make  new  heavens,  new  earth, 
Songs  of  praise  shall  hail  their  birth. 

4  And  can  man  alone  be  dumb, 
Till  that  glorious  kingdom  come  ? 
No :  the  Church  delights  to  raise 
Psalms,  and  hymns,  and  songs  of  praise. 


5  Saints  below,  with  heart  and  voice, 
Still  in  songs  of  praise  rejoice, 
Learning  here,  by  faith  and  love, 

SongS  Of  praise  tO  Sing  above.  james  Montgomery,

2  Of  His  deliverance  I  will  boast, 

Till  all  that  are  distressed 
From  my  example  comfort  take, 
And  charm  their  griefs  to  rest. 

3  O  magnify  the  Lord  with  me, 

With  me  exalt  His  Name ; 
When  in  distress  to  Him  I  called, 
He  to  my  rescue  came. 

4  The  hosts  of  God  encamp  around 

The  dwellings  of  the  just ; 

42    (GENEVA  or  DOWNS)    C.  M. 

1  WHEN  all  Thy  mercies,  O  my  God, 

My  rising  soul  surveys, 
Transported  with  the  view,  I'm  lost 
In  wonder,  love,  and  praise. 

2  Unnumbered  comforts  to  my  soul 

Thy  tender  care  bestowed, 
Before  my  infant  heart  conceived 
From  whom  those  comforts  flowed. 

3  When  worn  with  sickness,oft  hast  Thou 

With  health  renewed  my  face*; 
And,  when  in  sins  and  sorrows  sunk, 
Revived  my  soul  with  grace. 


Deliverance  He  affords  to  all 
Who  on  His  succor  trust. 

O  make  but  trial  of  His  love ; 

Experience  will  decide, 
How  blest  are  they,  and  only  they, 

Who  in  His  truth  confide. 

Fear  Him,  ye  saints;  and  you  will  then 
Have  nothing  else  to  fear  : 

Make  you  His  service  your  delight, 
He'll  make  your  wants  His  care. 

Tate  and  Brady's  New  Version,  1696,  1698 


4  Ten  thousand  thousand  precious  gifts 

My  daily  thanks  employ ; 
Nor  is  the  least  a  cheerful  heart 
That  tastes  those  gifts  with  joy. 

5  Through  every  period  of  my  life 

Thy  goodness  I'll  pursue  ; 
And  after  death,  in  distant  worlds, 
The  glorious  theme  renew. 

6  Through  all  eternity  to  Thee 

A  joyful  song  I'll  raise  ; 

For  O,  eternity's  too  short 

To  utter  all  Thy  praise. 

Joseph  Addison,  1712

2  Sun  of  our  life,  Thy  quickening  ray 
Sheds  on  our  path  the  glow  of  day ; 
Star  of  our  hope,  Thy  softened  light 
Cheers  the  long  watches  of  the  night. 

3  Our  midnight  is  Thy  smile  withdrawn ; 
Our  noontide  is  Thy  gracious  dawn ; 
Our  rainbow  arch,  Thy  mercy's  sign ; 
All,  save  the  clouds  of  sin,  are  Thine. 


46     (LOUVAN)     L.  M. 

1  LORD,  Thou  hast  searched  and  seen 

me  through; 
Thine  eye  commands  with  piercing  view 
My  rising  and  my  resting  hours, 
My  heart  and  flesh,  with  all  their  powers. 

2  My  thoughts,  before  they  are  my  own, 
Are  to  my  God  distinctly  known ; 
He  knows  the  words  I  mean  to  speak, 
Ere  from  my  opening  lips  they  break. 

3  Within  Thy  circling  power  I  stand ; 
On  every  side  I  find  Thy  hand  : 


4  Lord  of  all  life,  below,  above, 
Whose  light  is  truth,  whose  warmth  is 

love, 
Before  Thy  ever-blazing  throne 
We  ask  no  lustre  of  our  own. 

5  Grant  us  Thy  truth  to  make  us  free, 
And  kindling  hearts  that  burn  for  Thee; 
Till  all  Thy  living  altars  claim 

One  holy  light,  one  heavenly  flame. 

Oliver  Wendell  Holmes,  1848 


Awake,  asleep,  at  home,  abroad, 
I  am  surrounded  still  with  God. 

4  Amazing  knowledge,  vast  and  great ! 
What  large  extent,  what  lofty  height ! 
My  soul,  with  all  the  powers  I  boast, 
Is  in  the  boundless  prospect  lost. 

5  O    may   these    thoughts    possess    my 

breast, 
Where'er  I  rove,  where'er  I  rest : 
Nor  let  my  weaker  passions  dare 
Consent  to  sin,  for  God  is  there.

2  Our  years  are  like  the  shadows 

On  sunny  hills  that  lie, 
Or  grasses  in  the  meadows 

That  blossom  but  to  die  ; 
A  sleep,  a  dream,  a  story 

By  strangers  quickly  told, 
An  unremaining  glory 

Of  things  that  soon  are  old. 


3  O  Thou,  who  canst  not  slumber, 

Whose  light  grows  never  pale, 
Teach  us  aright  to  number 

Our  years  before  they  fail ; 
On  us  Thy  mercy  lighten, 

On  us  Thy  goodness  rest, 
And  let  Thy  Spirit  brighten 

The  hearts  Thyself  hast  blessed.

2  Let  those  refuse  to  sing 
That  never  knew  our  God  ; 

But  children  of  the  heavenly  King 
May  speak  their  joys  abroad. 

3  The  men  of  grace  have  found 
Glory  begun  below ;

From  faith  and  hope  may  grow.

THOMAS)     S.  M. 


i   MY  soul,  repeat  His  praise 
Whose  mercies  are  so  great, 

Whose  anger  is  so  slow  to  rise, 
So  ready  to  abate. 

2  High  as  the  heavens  are  raised 
Above  the  ground  we  tread, 

So  far  the  riches  of  His  grace 
Our  highest  thoughts  exceed. 

3  His  power  subdues  our  sins, 
And  His  forgiving  love, 

Far  as  the  east  is  from  the  west, 
Doth  all  our  guilt  remove. 


4  The  hill  of  Zion  yields 

A  thousand  sacred  sweets, 
Before  we  reach  the  heavenly  fields, 
Or  walk  the  golden  streets. 

5  Then  let  our  songs  abound, 
And  every  tear  be  dry ; 

We're  marching  through  Emmanuel's 
ground 
To  fairer  worlds  on  high. 

Rev.  Isaac  Watts,  1707:  verse  2,  I.3,  alt. 


4  The  pity  of  the  Lord 

To  those  that  fear  His  Name 
Is  such  as  tender  parents  feel ; 
He  knows  our  feeble  frame, 

5  Our  days  are  as  the  grass, 
Or  like  the  morning  flower ; 

If  one  sharp  blast  sweep  o'er  the  field, 
It  withers  in  an  hour. 

6  But  Thy  compassions,  Lord, 
To  endless  years  endure  ; 

And  children's  children  ever  find 
Thy  words  of  promise  sure.

For  Thy  praise  combine ; 
Craftsman's  art  and  music's  measure 
For  Thy  pleasure 
Didst  design. 


4  Here,  great  God,  to-day  we  offer 

Of  Thine  own  to  Thee ; 
And  for  Thine  acceptance  proffer, 

All  unworthily, 
Hearts  and  minds,  and  hands  and  voices, 
In  our  choicest 
Melody. 

5  Honor,  glory,  might,  and  merit, 

Thine  shall  ever  be, 
Father,  Son,  and  Holy  Spirit, 

Blessed  Trinity : 
Of  the  best  that  Thou  hast  given 
Earth  and  heaven 
Render  Thee.

Rev.  Isaac  Watts,  1707 

59     (DEDHAM  or  ST.  LEONARD)    C.  M. 

1  O  FOR  a  thousand  tongues  to  sing     3  Jesus,  the  Name  that  charms  our  fears, 


My  dear  Redeemer's  praise, 
The  glories  of  my  God  and  King, 
The  triumphs  of  His  grace. 

2  My  gracious  Master  and  my  God, 
Assist  me  to  proclaim, 
To  spread  through  all  the  earth  abroad, 
The  honors  of  Thy  Name. 


That  bids  our  sorrows  cease  ; 
'Tis  music  in  the  sinner's  ears, 
'Tis  life,  and  health,  and  peace. 

4  He  breaks  the  power  of  reigning  sin, 
He  sets  the  prisoner  free ; 
His  blood  can  make  the  foulest  clean, 
His  blood  availed  for  me. 


5  He  speaks,  and,  listening  to  His  voice, 
New  life  the  dead  receive  ; 
The  mournful,  broken  hearts  rejoice ; 
The  humble  poor  believe.

2  O  Bringer  of  salvation, 

Who  wondrously  hast  wrought, 
Thyself  the  revelation 

Of  love  beyond  our  thought ; 
We  worship  Thee,  we  bless  Thee, 

To  Thee  alone  we  sing ; 
We  praise  Thee,  and  confess  Thee 
Our  gracious  Lord  and  King. 


In  Thee  all  fulness  dwelleth, 

All  grace  and  power  Divine : 
The  glory  that  excelleth, 
O  Son  of  God,  is  Thine ; 

We  worship  Thee,  we  bless  Thee, 

To  Thee  alone  we  sing ; 
We  praise  Thee,  and  confess  Thee

Nearer,  ever  nearer, 

Christ,  we  draw  to  Thee, 
Deep  in  adoration 

Bending  low  the  knee : 
Thou  for  our  redemption 

Cam'st  on  earth  to  die ; 
Thou,  that  we  might  follow, 

Hast  gone  up  on  high. 

3  Great  and  ever  greater 

Are  Thy  mercies  here  ; 
True  and  everlasting 

Are  the  glories  there, 
Where  no  pain  nor  sorrow, 

Toil  nor  care  is  known, 
Where  the  angel-legions 

Circle  round  Thy  throne. 

4  Brighter  still  and  brighter 

Glows  the  western  sun, 
Shedding  all  its  gladness 
O'er  our  work  that's  done 


Time  will  soon  be  over, 

Toil  and  sorrow  past, 
May  we,  blessed  Saviour, 

Find  a  rest  at  last. 

Onward,  ever  onward, 

Journeying  o'er  the  road 
Worn  by  saints  before  us, 

Journeying  on  to  God ; 
Leaving  all  behind  us, 

May  we  hasten  on, 
Backward  never  looking 

Till  the  prize  is  won. 

Higher,  then,  and  higher, 

Bear  the  ransomed  soul, 
Earthly  toils  forgetting, 

Saviour,  to  its  goal ; 
Where  in  joys  unthought  of 

Saints  with  angels  sing, 
Never  weary,  raising 

Praises  to  their  King.

God  ruleth  on  high,  almighty  to  save ; 
And  still  He  is  nigh — His  presence  we  have : 
The  great  congregation  His  triumph  shall  sing, 
Ascribing  salvation  to  Jesus,  our  King. 

Salvation  to  God,  who  sits  on  the  throne  ! 
Let  all  cry  aloud,  and  honor  the  Son : 
The  praises  of  Jesus  the  angels  proclaim, 
Fall  down  on  their  faces  and  worship  the  Lamb. 

Then  let  us  adore,  and  give  Him  His  right, 
All  glory  and  power,  and  wisdom  and  might, 
All  honor  and  blessing,  with  angels  above, 
And  thanks  never  ceasing,  and  infinite  love.

Sing  of  His  rising  power;  "Ye  blessed  children,  come; "

For  those  whose  sins  He  bore.  And  take  His  wanderers  home.

2  When  sleep  her  balm  denies, 
My  silent  spirit  sighs 

May  Jesus  Christ  be  praised  : 
When  evil  thoughts  molest, 
With  this  I  shield  my  breast, 

May  Jesus  Christ  be  praised. 

3  Does  sadness  fill  my  mind  ? 
A  solace  here  I  find, 

May  Jesus  Christ  be  praised  : 
Or  fades  my  earthly  bliss  ? 
My  comfort  still  is  this, 

May  Jesus  Christ  be  praised. 


4  In  heaven's  eternal  bliss 
The  loveliest  strain  is  this, 

May  Jesus  Christ  be  praised  : 
The  powers  of  darkness  fear, 
When  this  sweet  chant  they  hear, 

May  Jesus  Christ  be  praised. 

5  Let  earth's  wide  circle  round 
In  joyful  notes  resound, 

May  Jesus  Christ  be  praised  : 
Let  air  and  sea  and  sky, 
From  depth  to  height,  reply, 

May  Jesus  Christ  be  praised.

2  Thou  art  gone  where  now  is  given 

What  no  mortal  might  could  gain, 
On  the  eternal  throne  of  heaven 
In  Thy  Father's  power  to  reign. 

3  There  Thy  kingdoms  all  adore  Thee, 

Heaven  above  and  earth  below ; 
While  the  depths  of  hell  before  Thee 
Trembling  and  amazed  bow. 


4  We,  O  Lord,  with  hearts  adoring, 

Follow  Thee  beyond  the  sky : 
Hear  our  prayers  Thy  grace  imploring, 
Lift  our  souls  to  Thee  on  high ; 

5  So  when  Thou  again  in  glory 

On  the  clouds  of  heaven  shalt  shine, 
We  Thy  flock  may  stand  before  Thee, 
Owned  for  evermore  as  Thine.

1  COME,  Thou  long-expected  Jesus, 

Born  to  set  Thy  people  free ; 
From  our  fears  and  sins  release  us  \ 
Let  us  find  our  rest  in  Thee. 

2  Israel's  Strength  and  Consolation, 

Hope  of  all  the  earth  Thou  art ; 
Dear  Desire  of  every  nation, 
Joy  of  every  longing  heart. 


Hail !  all  hail !  In  Thee  confiding, 

Jesus,  Thee  shall  all  adore, 
In  Thy  Father's  might  abiding 

With  one  Spirit  evermore. 

Anon.  (Latin,  6th  or  7th  cent.)    Tr.  Bishop  James  R.  Woodford,  1852 


3  Born  Thy  people  to  deliver, 

Born  a  child,  and  yet  a  King, 
Born  to  reign  in  us  for  ever, 

Now  Thy  gracious  kingdom  bring. 

4  By  Thine  own  eternal  Spirit 

Rule  in  all  our  hearts  alone ; 
By  Thine  all-sufficient  merit 

Raise  us  to  Thy  glorious  throne.

While  worlds  on  worlds  are  Thine  alone.

A  Virgin's  arms  contain  Thee  now : 
Angels  who  did  in  Thee  rejoice 
Now  listen  for  Thine  infant  voice. 

3  A  little  Child,  Thou  art  our  Guest, 
That  weary  ones  in  Thee  may  rest ; 


Far  as  the  curse  is  found. 

4  He  rules  the  world  with  truth  and  grace, 
And  makes  the  nations  prove 
The  glories  of  His  righteousness, 
And  wonders  of  His  love. 


Rev.  Isaac  Watts, 


[719 


Forlorn  and  lowly  is  Thy  birth, 

That  we  may  rise  to  heaven  from  earth. 

4  Thou  comest  in  the  darksome  night 
To  make  us  children  of  the  light, 

To  make  us,  in  the  realms  Divine, 
Like  Thine  own  angels  round  Thee  shine. 

5  All  this  for  us  Thy  love  hath  done ; 
By  this  to  Thee  our  love  is  won : 
For  this  we  tune  our  cheerful  lays, 
And  shout  our  thanks  in  ceaseless  praise.

2  For  Christ  is  born  of  Mary ; 

And  gathered  all  above, 
While  mortals  sleep,  the  angels  keep 

Their  watch  of  wondering  love. 
O  morning  stars,  together 

Proclaim  the  holy  birth  ; 
And  praises  sing  to  God  the  King, 

And  peace  to  men  on  earth. 

3  How  silently,  how  silently, 

The  wondrous  gift  is  given  ! 

So  God  imparts  to  human  hearts 

The  blessings  of  His  heaven. 


No  ear  may  hear  His  coming, 

But  in  this  world  of  sin, 
Where  meek  souls  will  receive  Him  still, 

The  dear  Christ  enters  in. 

4  O  holy  Child  of  Bethlehem, 

Descend  to  us,  we  pray ; 
Cast  out  our  sin,  and  enter  in, 

Be  born  in  us  to-day. 
We  hear  the  Christmas  angels 

The  great  glad  tidings  tell ; 
O  come  to  us,  abide  with  us, 

Our  Lord  Emmanuel.

Which  they  chant  in  hymns  of  joy :  Heaven  and  earth  His  glory  sing  :

Souls  redeemed,  and  sins  forgiven ;  Till  in  heaven  you  sing  before  Him,

AS  with  gladness  men  of  old 
Did  the  guiding  star  behold  ; 
As  with  joy  they  hailed  its  light, 
Leading  onward,  beaming  bright ; 
So,  most  gracious  God,  may  we 
Evermore  be  led  to  Thee. 

As  with  joyful  steps  they  sped 
To  that  lowly  manger-bed, 
There  to  bend  the  knee  before 
Him  whom  heaven  and  earth  adore 
So  may  we  with  willing  feet 
Ever  seek  Thy  mercy-seat. 


€\}t  lEptpljang 


As  they  offered  gifts  most  rare 
At  that  manger  rude  and  bare ; 
So  may  we  with  holy  joy, 
Pure,  and  free  from  sin's  alloy, 
All  our  costliest  treasures  bring, 
Christ,  to  Thee,  our  heavenly  King. 

Holy  Jesus,  every  day 
Keep  us  in  the  narrow  way ; 
And,  when  earthly  things  are  past, 
Bring  our  ransomed  souls  at  last 
Where  they  need  no  star  to  guide, 
Where  no  clouds  Thy  glory  hide.

2  The  Son  of  God  in  tears 

The  wondering  angels  see  : 
Be  thou  astonished,  O  my  soul ; 
He  shed  those  tears  for  thee. 


DIX    7.7.7.7-7.7. 


3  He  wept  that  we  might  weep ; 
Each  sin  demands  a  tear  ; 
In  heaven  alone  no  sin  is  found, 
And  there's  no  weeping  there.

2  For  ever  on  Thy  burdened  heart 
A  weight  of  sorrow  hung  ; 
Yet  no  ungentle,  murmuring  word 
Escaped  Thy  silent  tongue. 


4  O  give  us  hearts  to  love  like  Thee 
Like  Thee,  O  Lord,  to  grieve 
Far  more  for  others'  sins  than  all 
The  wrongs  that  we  receive. 


3  Thy  foes  might  hate,  despise,  revile,  5  One  with  Thyself,  may  every  eye 

Thy  friends  unfaithful  prove  ;  In  us,  Thy  brethren,  see 

Unwearied  in  forgiveness  still,  That  gentleness  and  grace  that  spring 

Thy  heart  could  only  love.  From  union,  Lord,  with  Thee.

LORD,  Thou  in  all  things  like  wast 
made 

To  us,  yet  free  from  sin  ; 
Then  how  unlike  to  us,  O  Lord, 

Replies  the  voice  within. 

Our  faith  is  weak ;  O  Light  of  Light, 
Clear  Thou  our  clouded  view ; 

That  Son  of  Man,  and  Son  of  God, 
We  give  Thee  honor  due. 


O  Son  of  Man,  Thyself  hast  proved 

Our  trials  and  our  tears ; 
Life's  thankless  toil  and  scant  repose, 

Death's  agonies  and  fears. 

O  Son  of  God,  in  glory  raised, 
Thou  sittest  on  Thy  throne : 

Thence,  by  Thy  pleadings  and  Thy 
grace, 
Still  succoring  Thine  own. 


5  Brother  and  Saviour,  Friend  and  Judge ! 
To  Thee,  O  Christ,  be  given 
To  bind  upon  Thy  crown  the  names 
Most  blest  in  earth  and  heaven.

1  O  MEAN  may  seem  this  house  of  clay,  4  But  not  this  fleshly  robe  alone 

Yet  'twas  the  Lord's  abode  ;  Shall  link  us,  Lord,  to  Thee ; 

Our  feet  may  mourn  this  thorny  way,  Not  only  in  the  tear  and  groan 

Yet  here  Emmanuel  trod.  Shall  the  dear  kindred  be. 


2  This  fleshly  robe  the  Lord  did  wear, 

This  watch  the  Lord  did  keep, 

These  burdens  sore  the  Lord  did  bear, 

These  tears  the  Lord  did  weep. 

3  Our  very  frailty  brings  us  near 

Unto  the  Lord  of  heaven ; 
To  every  grief,  to  every  tear, 
Such  glory  strange  is  given. 


5  We  shall  be  reckoned  for  Thine  own 

Because  Thy  heaven  we  share, 
Because  we  sing  around  Thy  throne, 
And  Thy  bright  raiment  wear. 

6  O  mighty  grace,  our  life  to  live, 

To  make  our  earth  Divine : 
O  mighty  grace,  Thy  heaven  to  give, 
And  lift  our  life  to  Thine.

3  Teach  me  Thy  patience;  still  with  Thee

In  trust  that  triumphs  over  wrong ;

2  Privations,  sorrows,  bitter  scorn,

The  faithless  kiss,  the  crown  of  thorn,-

1  'TIS  midnight;  and  on  Olive's  brow 
The  star  is  dimmed  that  lately  shone  : 

'Tis  midnight ;  in  the  garden,  now, 
The  suffering  Saviour  prays  alone. 

2  'Tis  midnight;  and,  from  all  removed, 
Emmanuel  wrestles  lone  with  fears: 

E'en  the  disciple  that  He  loved 
Heeds  not  his  Master's  grief  and  tears. 


Early  hasten  to  the  tomb 

Where  they  laid  His  breathless  clay  : 

All  is  solitude  and  gloom  ; 

Who  hath  taken  Him  away  ? 

Christ  is  risen  !     He  meets  our  eyes. 

Saviour,  teach  us  so  to  rise. 

James  Montgomery,  1820  (text  of  1853) 


3  'Tis  midnight;  and,  for  others'  guilt, 
The  Man  of  Sorrows  weeps  in  blood  : 

Yet  He  that  hath  in  anguish  knelt 
Is  not  forsaken  by  His  God. 

4  'Tis  midnight;  from  the  heavenly  plains- 
Is  borne  the  song  that  angels  know : 

Unheard  by  mortals  are  the  strains 
That  sweetly  soothe  the  Saviour's  woe.

2  When  the  woes  of  life  o'ertake  me, 

Hopes  deceive,  and  fears  annoy, 
Never  shall  the  cross  forsake  me : 
Lo  !  it  glows  with  peace  and  joy. 

3  When  the  sun  of  bliss  is  beaming 

Light  and  love  upon  my  way, 
From  the  cross  the  radiance  streaming 
Adds  more  lustre  to  the  day.

Bane  and  blessing,  pain  and  pleasure, 
By  the  cross  are  sanctified  ; 

Peace  is  there  that  knows  no  measure, 
Joys  that  through  all  time  abide. 

In  the  cross  of  Christ  I  glory, 

Towering  o'er  the  wrecks  of  time ; 

All  the  light  of  sacred  story 
Gathers  round  its  head  sublime.

From  the  sinner's  dying  Friend.

Mercy's  streams  in  streams  of  blood :

With  my  tears  His  feet  I'll  bathe  ; 
Constant  still  in  faith  abiding, 
Life  deriving  from  His  death.

2  Upon  that  cross  of  Jesus 

Mine  eye  at  times  can  see 
The  very  dying  form  of  One 

Who  suffered  there  for  me  : 
And  from  my  smitten  heart  with  tears 

Two  wonders  I  confess, — 
The  wonders  of  His  glorious  love 

And  my  own  worthlessness. 


I  take,  O  cross,  thy  shadow 

For  my  abiding-place : 
I  ask  no  other  sunshine  than 

The  sunshine  of  His  face ; 
Content  to  let  the  world  go  by, 

To  know  no  gain  nor  loss, 
My  sinful  self  my  only  shame, 

My  glory  all  the  cross.

4  Thus  might  I  hide  my  blushing  face 

While  His  dear  cross  appears; 
Dissolve  my  heart  in  thankfulness, 
And  melt  my  eyes  to  tears. 

5  But  drops  of  grief  can  ne'er  repay 

The  debt  of  love  I  owe  \ 
Here,  Lord,  I  give  myself  away, 
'Tis  all  that  I  can  do. 

Rev.  Isaac  Watts,  1707:  verse  3,  1.  3,  alt. 


Was  it  for  crimes  that  I  had  done 
He  groaned  upon  the  tree  ! 

Amazing  pity  !  Grace  unknown! 
And  love  beyond  degree  ! 

Well  might  the  sun  in  darkness  hide, 

And  shut  his  glories  in, 
When  He,  the  mighty  Maker,  died 

For  man  the  creature's  sin.

How  the  lost  may  be  restored, 
How  the  penitent  forgiven,        [luia  !

2  In  vain  with  stone  the  cave  they  barred ; 
In  vain  the  watch  kept  ward  and  guard : 
Majestic  from  the  spoiled  tomb, 

In  pomp  of  triumph  Christ  is  come. 

3  He  binds  in  chains  the  ancient  foe  ; 
A  countless  host  He  frees  from  woe, 
And  heaven's  high  portal  open  flies, 
For  Christ  has  risen,  and  man  shall  rise.

He  gives  us  as  our  own  to  share ; 


And  hope  and  joy  and  peace  begin,

And  lead  through  death  to  realms  of

Glad  alleluias  raise  to  Thee  ; 

And  ever  with  the  heavenly  host

And  suffered  rude  disdain, 

They  cast  their  honors  at  His  feet, 
And  waited  in  His  train.

While  darkness  veiled  the  skies, 

And  when  He  burst  the  gates  of  death, 
They  saw  the  Conqueror  rise. 

6  They  thronged  His  chariot-wheels, 
And  bore  Him  to  His  throne  ; 

Then  swept  their  golden  harps,  and  sang, 
"The  glorious  work  is  done."

He  who  bled  and  died, 
Now  is  crowned  with  glory 

At  His  Father's  side. 
Never  more  to  suffer, 

Never  more  to  die, 
Jesus,  King  of  Glory, 

Is  gone  up  on  high. — ref

1  LIGHT  of  the  lonely  pilgrim's  heart, 

Star  of  the  coming  day, 
Arise,  and  with  Thy  morning  beams 
Chase  all  our  griefs  away. 

2  Come,  blessed  Lord,  bid  every  shore 

And  answering  island  sing 
The  praises  of  Thy  royal  Name, 
And  own  Thee  as  their  King. 

3  Lord,  Lord,  Thy  fair  creation  groans, 

The  air,  the  earth,  the  sea, 


In  unison  with  all  our  hearts, 
And  calls  aloud  for  Thee. 

4  Come,  then,  with  all  Thy  quickening 

With  one  awakening  smile,  [power, 
And  bid  the  serpent's  trail  no  more 
Thy  beauteous  realms  defile. 

5  Thine  was  the  cross,  with  all  its  fruits 

Of  grace  and  peace  Divine : 
Be  Thine  the  crown  of  glory  now, 
The  palm  of  victory  Thine.

Save  us  in  Thy  great  compassion, 
O  Thou  mild,  pacific  Prince  ; 

Give  the  knowledge  of  salvation,

Let  Thy  bright  beams  arise  ; 
Dispel  the  darkness  from  our  minds, 
And  open  all  our  eyes. 

2  Cheer  our  desponding  hearts, 

Thou  heavenly  Paraclete ; 
Give  us  to  lie  with  humble  hope 
At  our  Redeemer's  feet. 

3  Revive  our  drooping  faith, 

Our  doubts  and  fears  remove, 
And  kindle  in  our  breasts  the  flame 
Of  never-dying  love. 


4  Convince  us  of  our  sin, 

Then  lead  to  Jesus'  blood, 
And  to  our  wondering  view  reveal 
The  secret  love  of  God. 

5  'Tis  Thine  to  cleanse  the  heart, 

To  sanctify  the  soul, 
To  pour  fresh  life  on  every  part, 
And  new-create  the  whole. 

6  Dwell  therefore  in  our  hearts, 

Our  minds  from  bondage  free ; 
Then  we  shall  know,  and  praise,  and

But  take  the  dimness  of   my  soul  away.

All,  all  Thine  own,  soul,  heart,  and  strength,  and  mind;

O  let  me  seek  Thee,  and  O  let  me  find. 

4  Teach  me  to  feel  that  Thou  art  always  nigh ; 
Teach  me  the  struggles  of  the  soul  to  bear, 
To  check  the  rising  doubt,  the  rebel  sigh ; 
Teach  me  the  patience  of  unanswered  prayer. 

5  Teach  me  to  love  Thee  as  Thine  angels  love, 
One  holy  passion  filling  all  my  frame; 

The  baptism  of  the  heaven-descended  Dove, 
My  heart  an  altar,  and  Thy  love  the  flame.

And  every  victory  won, 

And  every  thought  of  holiness, 
Are  His  alone. 


He  came  sweet  influence  to  impart, 

A  gracious,  willing  Guest, 
While  He  can  find  one  humble  heart 
Wherein  to  rest. 

6  Spirit  of  purity  and  grace, 
Our  weakness,  pitying,  see : 
O  make  our  hearts  Thy  dwelling-place, 
And  worthier  Thee. 


Harriet  Auber,  1829 


IIQ     (LUX  VESPERA)    7.  7-  7-  5- 

1  GRACIOUS  Spirit,  Holy  Ghost, 
Taught  by  Thee,  we  covet  most, 
Of  Thy  gifts  at  Pentecost, 

Holy,  heavenly  love. 

2  Faith,  that  mountains  could  remove, 
Tongues  of  earth  or  heaven  above, 
Knowledge,  all  things,  empty  prove, 

Without  heavenly  love. 

3  Love  is  kind,  and  suffers  long  ; 
Love  is  meek,  and  thinks  no  wrong ; 
Love  than  death  itself  more  strong ; 

Therefore,  give  us  love. 


4  Faith  will  vanish  into  sight ; 
Hope  be  emptied  in  delight ; 

Love  in  heaven  will  shine  more  bright; 
Therefore,  give  us  love. 

5  Faith  and  hope  and  love  we  see, 
Joining  hand  in  hand,  agree ; 
But  the  greatest  of  the  three, 

And  the  best,  is  love. 

6  From  the  overshadowing 

Of  Thy  gold  and  silver  wing, 
Shed  on  us  who  to  Thee  sing 
Holy,  heavenly  love.

2  Bless  Thou  the  truth,  dear  Lord, 
To  me — to  me — 
As  Thou  didst  bless  the  bread 
By  Galilee ; 

126     (ORTONVILLE)     C.  M. 

1  THE  Spirit  breathes  upon  the  word, 

And  brings  the  truth  to  sight; 
Precepts  and  promises  afford 
A  sanctifying  light. 

2  A  glory  gilds  the  sacred  page, 

Majestic,  like  the  sun  : 
It  gives  a  light  to  every  age  ; 
It  gives,  but  borrows  none. 

3  The  Hand  that  gave  it  still  supplies 

The  gracious  light  and  heat : 


Then  shall  all  bondage  cease, 

All  fetters  fall ; 
And  I  shall  find  my  peace, 

My  All  in  all. 

Mary  Ann  Lathbury,  1877 


His  truths  upon  the  nations  rise ; 
They  rise,  but  never  set. 

4  Let  everlasting  thanks  be  Thine 

For  such  a  bright  display 
As  makes  a  world  of  darkness  shine 
With  beams  of  heavenly  day. 

5  My  soul  rejoices  to  pursue 

The  steps  of  Him  I  love, 

Till  glory  break  upon  my  view 

In  brighter  worlds  above. 

William  Cowper,  1779

2  The  rolling  sun,  the  changing  light, 
And  nights  and  days,  Thy  power  con- 
fess ; 

But  the  blest  volume  Thou  hast  writ 
Reveals  Thy  justice  and  Thy  grace. 

3  Sun, moon,  and  stars  convey  Thy  praise 
Round  the  whole  earth,  and  never 

stand ; 
So  when  Thy  truth  began  its  race, 
It  touched  and  glanced  on  every  land. 


4  Nor  shall  Thy  spreading  gospel  rest 
Till  through  the  world  Thy  truth  has 

run  ; 
Till  Christ  has  all  the  nations  blest 
That  see  the  light,  or  feel  the  sun. 

5  Great  Sun  of  Righteousness,  arise ; 
Bless  the  dark  world  with   heavenly 

light : 
Thy  gospel  makes  the  simple  wise, 
Thy  laws  are  pure,Thy  judgments  right.

Though  with  a  scornful  wonder 

Men  see  her  sore  oppressed, 
By  schisms  rent  asunder, 

By  heresies  distressed, 
Yet  saints  their  watch  are  keeping, 

Their  cry  goes  up,  "  How  long  ?' 
And  soon  the  night  of  weeping 

Shall  be  the  morn  of  song. 


'Mid  toil  and  tribulation, 

And  tumult  of  her  war, 
She  waits  the  consummation 

Of  peace  for  evermore  ; 
Till  with  the  vision  glorious 

Her  longing  eyes  are  blest, 
And  the  great  Church  victorious 

Shall  be  the  Church  at  rest.

2  See,  the  streams  of  living  waters, 
Springing  from  eternal  Love, 
Well  supply  thy  sons  and  daughters, 

And  all  fear  of  want  remove : 
Who  can  faint,  while  such  a  river 

Ever  flows  their  thirst  to  assuage ; 
Grace,   which,    like   the    Lord    the 
Giver, 
Never  fails  from  age  to  age  ? 


3  Round  each  habitation  hovering, 
See  the  cloud  and  fire  appear 
For  a  glory  and  a  covering, 

Showing  that  the  Lord  is  near  •. 
Thus  deriving  from  their  banner 

Light  by  night,  and  shade  by  day, 
Safe  they  feed  upon  the  manna 

Which  He   gives  them  when  they 
pray.

2  Lo,  such  the  child  whose  early  feet 

The  paths  of  peace  have  trod ; 
Whose  secret  heart,   with  influence 
sweet, 
Is  upward  drawn  to  God. 

3  By  cool  Siloam's  shady  rill 

The  lily  must  decay  ; 
The  rose  that  blooms  beneath  the  hill 
Must  shortly  fade  away : 


4  And  soon,  too  soon,  the  wintry  hour 

Of  man's  maturer  age 
Will  shake  the  soul  with  sorrow's  power 
And  stormy  passion's  rage. 

5  O  Thou,  whose  infant  feet  were  found 

Within  Thy  Father's  shrine, 
Whose  years,  with  changeless  virtue 
crowned, 
Were  all  alike  Divine ; 


6  Dependent  on  Thy  bounteous  breath, 
We  seek  Thy  grace  alone 
In  childhood,  manhood,  age,  and  death, 
To  keep  us  still  Thine  own. 

Bishop  Reginald  Heber,  1812  (Text  of  1827)

1  SAVIOUR,  who  Thy  flock  art  feeding,   3  Never,  from  Thy  pasture  roving, 
With  the  shepherd's  kindest  care,  Let  them  be  the  lion's  prey  ; 

All  the  feeble  gently  leading,  Let  Thy  tenderness,  so  loving,  [way. 

While  the  lambs  Thy  bosom  share;         Keep  them  through  life's  dangerous 


2  Now,  these  little  ones  receiving, 
Fold  them  in  Thy  gracious  arm ; 
There,  we  know,  Thy  word  believing, 
Only  there  secure  from  harm. 


4  Then,  within  Thy  fold  eternal, 
Let  them  find  a  resting-place, 
Feed  in  pastures  ever  vernal, 
Drink  the  rivers  of  Thy  grace.

With  all  my  powers,  to  serve  the

Whose  service  is  a  rich  reward.

Till  others  love  the  blest  employ, 
And  join  in  labors  so  Divine.

My  solemn,  my  determined  choice,

1  ACCORDING  to  Thy  gracious  word,  4  When  to  the  cross  I  turn  mine  eyes, 

In  meek  humility,  And  rest  on  Calvary, 

This  will  I  do,  my  dying  Lord,  O  Lamb  of  God,  my  Sacrifice, 

I  will  remember  Thee.  I  must  remember  Thee ; 


2  Thy  body,  broken  for  my  sake, 

My  bread  from  heaven  shall  be ; 
Thy  testamental  cup  I  take, 
And  thus  remember  Thee. 

3  Gethsemane  can  I  forget  ? 

Or  there  Thy  conflict  see, 

Thine  agony  and  bloody  sweat, 

And  not  remember  Thee  ? 


5  Remember  Thee,  and  all  Thy  pains, 

And  all  Thy  love  to  me : 
Yea,  while  a  breath,  a  pulse  remains, 
Will  I  remember  Thee. 

6  And  when  these  failing  lips  grow  dumb, 

And  mind  and  memory  flee, 
When  Thou  shalt  inThy  kingdom  come. 
Jesus,  remember  me.

2  I  am  not  worthy  to  be  thought  Thy  child, 

Nor  sit  the  last  and  lowest  at  Thy  board ; 
Too  long  a  wanderer  and  too  oft  beguiled, 
I  only  ask  one  reconciling  word. 

3  One  word  from  Thee,  my  Lord,  one  smile,  one  look, 

And  I  could  face  the  cold,  rough  world  again  ; 
And  with  that  treasure  in  my  heart  could  brook 
The  wrath  of  devils  and  the  scorn  of  men. 

4  I  hear  Thy  voice;    Thou  bidd'st  me  come  and  rest; 

I  come,  I  kneel,  I  clasp  Thy  pierced  feet ; 
Thou  bidd'st  me  take  my  place,  a  welcome  guest 
Among  Thy  saints,  and  of  Thy  banquet  eat. 

5  My  praise  can  only  breathe  itself  in  prayer, 

My  prayer  can  only  lose  itself  in  Thee ; 
Dwell  Thou  for  ever  in  my  heart,  and  there, 

Lord,  let  me  sup  with  Thee ;    sup  Thou  with  me.

And  long  to  feast  upon  Thee  still ;  Make  all  our  moments  calm  and  bright;

Strong    in  the  strength  which  God  sup-plies  Through  His     E-ter-nal    Son.     A-men. 


Copyright,  1895,  by  The  Trustees  of  The  Presbyterian  Board  of  Publication  and  Sabbath-School  Work 


2  Strong  in  the  Lord  of  hosts, 
And  in  His  mighty  power, 
Who  in  the  strength  of  Jesus  trusts 
Is  more  than  conqueror. 


4  That,  having  all  things  done, 
And  all  your  conflicts  passed, 
Ye  may  o'ercome  through  Christ  alone, 
And  stand  entire  at  last. 


Stand  then  in  His  great  might,  5  From  strength  to  strength  go  on  ; 

With  all  His  strength  endued  ;  Wrestle,  and  fight,  and  pray  ; 

But  take,  to  arm  you  for  the  fight,  Tread  all  the  powers  of  darkness  down, 

The  panoply  of  God  :  And  win  the  well-fought  day. 

6  Still  let  the  Spirit  cry 

In  all  His  soldiers,  "  Come," 
Till  Christ  the  Lord  descends  from  high, 
And  takes  the  conquerors  home. 

Rev.  Charles  Wesley,

(LABAN)     S.  M. 


1  YE  servants  of  the  Lord, 

Each  in  his  office  wait, 
Observant  of  His  heavenly  word, 
And  watchful  at  His  gate. 

2  Let  all  your  lamps  be  bright, 

And  trim  the  golden  flame ; 
Gird  up  your  loins,  as  in  His  sight, 
For  awful  is  His  Name. 

3  Watch:   'tis  your  Lord's  command, 

And  while  we  speak,  He's  near; 


[749 


Mark  the  first  signal  of  His  hand, 
And  ready  all  appear. 

4  O  happy  servant  he 

In  such  a  posture  found  ! 
He  shall  his  Lord  with  rapture  see, 
And  be  with  honor  crowned. 

5  Christ  shall  the  banquet  spread 

With  His  own  royal  hand, 
And  raise  that  favorite  servant's  head 
Amidst  the  angelic  band.

Rise  o'er  sin  and  fear  and  care; 
Joy  to  find  in  every  station 

Something  still  to  do  or  bear ; 
Think  what  Spirit  dwells  within  thee, 

What  a  Father's  smile  is  thine, 
What  a  Saviour  died  to  win  thee  : 
Child  of  heaven,  shouldst  thou  re- 
pine? 

Rev.  Henry  F.  Lyte,  1824  (Text  of  1833) 


2  Man  may  trouble  and  distress  me, 
'Twill  but  drive  me  to  Thy  breast; 
Life  with  trials  hard  may  press  me, 
Heaven  will   bring   me     sweeter 
rest: 
O  'tis  not  in  grief  to  harm  me 

While  Thy  love  is  left  to  me; 
O  'twere  not  in  joy  to  charm  me, 
Were  that  joy  unmixed  with  Thee.

2  If  you  cannot  cross  the  ocean, 

And  the  heathen  lands  explore, 
You  can  find  the  heathen  nearer, 

You  can  help  them  at  your  door. 
If  you  cannot  give  your  thousands, 

You  can  give  the  widow's  mite ; 
Aud  the  least  you  give  for  Jesus 

Will  be  precious  in  His  sight. 

%  If  you  cannot  speak  like  angels, 
If  you  cannot  preach  like  Paul, 
You  can  tell  the  love  of  Jesus, 
You  can  say  He  died  for  all. 


If  you  cannot  rouse  the  wicked 
With  the  judgment's  dread  alarms, 

You  can  lead  the  little  children 
To  the  Saviour's  waiting  arms. 

Let  none  hear  you  idly  saying, 

"  There  is  nothing  I  can  do," 
While  the  souls  of  men  are  dying, 

And  the  Master  calls  for  you  : 
Take  the  task  He  gives  you  gladly, 

Let  His  work  your  pleasure  be ; 
Answer  quickly  when  He  calleth, 

"  Here  am  I ;  send  me,  send  me."

Ye  dare  not  trust  your  own : 
Put  on  the  gospel  armor, 

Each  piece  put  on  with  prayer; 
Where  duty  calls,  or  danger, 

Be  never  wanting  there. 


Stand  up,  stand  up  for  Jesus, 

The  strife  will  not  be  long ; 
This  day  the  noise  of  battle, 

The  next  the  victor's  song : 
To  him  that  overcometh 

A  crown  of  life  shall  be ;

Shall  reign  eternally.

2  O  Christian  brothers,  glorious 

Shall  be  the  conflict's  close  ; 
The  cross  hath  been  victorious, 

And  shall  be  o'er  its  foes : 
Faith  is  our  battle-token  ; 

Our  Leader  all  controls ; 
Our  trophies,  fetters  broken  ; 

Our  captives,  ransomed  souls. 


3  Not  unto  us,  Lord  Jesus, 

To  Thee  all  praise  be  due, 
Whose  blood-bought  mercy  frees  us, 

Has  freed  our  brethren  too. 
Not  unto  us :   in  glory 

The  angels  catch  the  strain, 
And  cast  their  crowns  before  Thee 

Exultingly  again.

Let  no  fears  thy  soul  annoy ; 
Be  the  prospect  ne'er  so  dreary, 
Thou  shalt  reap  the  fruits  of  joy. 

4  Lo  !  the  scene  of  verdure  brightening, 

See  the  rising  grain  appear : 
Look  again  ;  the  fields  are  whitening, 
For  the  harvest- time  is  near.

The  world's  dark  night  is  hastening  on. 
Speed,  speed  thy  work,  cast  sloth  away ;

5  Toil  on,  and  in  thy  toil  rejoice ; 
For  toil  comes  rest,  for  exile  home ; 
Soon  shalt  thou  hear  the  Bridegroom's

The  midnight  peal, ' '  Behold,  I  come. ' '

The  honors  of  our  Saviour  God ; 
When  His  salvation  reigns  within, 
And  grace  subdues  the   power  of 

sin. 


4  O  teach  me,  Lord,  that  I  may  teach 

The  precious  things  Thou  dost  im- 
part ; 
And  wing  my  words,  that  they  may 
reach 

The  hidden  depths  of  many  a  heart. 

5  O  use  me,  Lord,  use  even  me, 

Just  as  Thou  wilt,  and  when,  and

Until  Thy  blessed  face  I  see, 

Thy  rest,  Thy  joy,  Thy  glory  share.

3  Our  flesh  and  sense  must  be  denied,

The  bright  appearance  of  the  Lord  ;

I  see  the  sights  that  dazzle, 

The  tempting  sounds  I  hear  : 
My  foes  are  ever  near  me, 

Around  me  and  within  ; 
But,  Jesus,  draw  Thou  nearer, 

And  shield  my  soul  from  sin.

2  Lead  on,  O  King  Eternal, 

Till  sin's  fierce  war  shall  cease, 
And  Holiness  shall  whisper 

The  sweet  Amen  of  peace  ; 
For  not  with  swords  loud  clashing, 

Nor  roll  of  stirring  drums, 
But  deeds  of  love  and  mercy, 

The  heavenly  kingdom  comes. 


Lead  on,  O  King  Eternal : 

We  follow,  not  with  fears  ; 
For  gladness  breaks  like  morning 

Where'er  Thy  face  appears ; 
Thy  cross  is  lifted  o'er  us ; 

We  journey  in  its  light : 
The  crown  awaits  the  conquest ; 

Lead  on,  O  God  of  might.

On  whom  the  Spirit  came,   [knew, 
Twelve  valiant  saints,  their  hope  they 

And  mocked  the  cross  and  flame  : 
They  met  the  tyrant's  brandished  steel, 

The  lion's  gory  mane  ; 
They  bowed  their  necks  the  death  to 

Who  follows  in  their  train  ?    [feel  : 


A  noble  army,  men  and  boys, 

The  matron  and  the  maid, 
Around  the  Saviour's  throne  rejoice, 

In  robes  of  light  arrayed  : 
They  climbed  the  steep  ascent  of  heaven 

Through  peril,  toil,  and  pain  ; 
O  God,  to  us  may  grace  be  given 

To  follow  in  their  train.

2  How  happy  are  the  saints  above.  4 

Who  once  went  sorrowing  here  ; 
But  now  they  taste  unmingled  love, 
And  joy  without  a  tear. 

3  The  consecrated  cross  I'll  bear  5 

Till  death  shall  set  me  free ; 
And  then  go  home  my  crown  to  wear, 
For  there's  a  crown  for  me. 


Upon  the  crystal  pavement,  down 

At  Jesus'  pierced  feet, 
Joyful,  I'll  cast  my  golden  crown, 

And  His  dear  Name  repeat. 

O  precious  cross  !  O  glorious  crown  ! 

O  resurrection  day  ! 
Ye  angels,  from  the  stars  flash  down, 

And  bear  my  soul  away.

2  O'er  the  blest  mercy-seat 

Pleading  for  me, 
Upward  in  faith  I  look, 

Jesus,  to  Thee  : 
Help  me  the  cross  to  bear, 
Thy  wondrous  love  declare, 
Some  song  to  raise,  or  prayer, 

Something  for  Thee. 

170     (ST-  MARK)     C.  M. 

1  O  STILL  in  accents  sweet  and  strong 

Sounds  forth  the  ancient  word, 
"  More  reapers  for  white  harvest  fields, 
More  laborers  for  the  Lord." 

2  We   hear   the   call ;    in   dreams   no 

more 
In  selfish  ease  we  lie, 
But,  girded  for  our  Father's  work, 
Go  forth  beneath  His  sky. 


3  Give  me  a  faithful  heart, 

Likeness  to  Thee, 
That  each  departing  day 

Henceforth  may  see 
Some  work  of  love  begun, 
Some  deed  of  kindness  done, 
Some  wanderer  sought  and  won, 

Something  for  Thee. 

Rev.  S.  Dryden  Phelps,  1862 


3  Where  prophets'  word,  and  martyrs' 

blood, 
And  prayers  of  saints  were  sown, 
We,  to  their  labors  entering  in, 
Would  reap  where  they  have  strown. 

4  O    Thou   whose  call  our   hearts   has 

To  do  Thy  will  we  come  ;      [stirred, 
Thrust  in  our  sickles  at  Thy  word, 
And  bear  our  harvest  home.

Work  through  the  sunny  noon  ; 
Fill  brightest  hours  with  labor, 

Rest  comes  sure  and  soon ; 
Give  every  flying  minute 

Something  to  keep  in  store ; 
Work,  for  the  night  is  coming, 

When  man  works  no  more.

Fadeth  to  shine  no  more  ; 
Work  while  the  night  is  darkening, 

When  man's  work  is  o'er.

2  And  Thou  who  cam'st  on  earth  to  die, 
That  fallen  man  might  live  thereby, 

O  hear  us,  for  to  Thee  we  cry- 
In  hope,  O  Lord,  to  Thee. 

3  Teach  us  the  lesson  Thou  hast  taught, 
To  feel  for  those  Thy  blood  hath  bought ; 
That  every  word  and  deed  and  thought 

May  work  a  work  for  Thee. 


4  For  all  are  brethren,  far  and  wide, 
Since  Thou,  O  Lord,  for  all  hast  died; 
Then  teach  us,  whatsoe'er  betide, 

To  love  them  all  in  Thee. 

5  In  sickness,  sorrow,  want,  or  care, 
Whate'er  it  be,  'tis  ours  to  share ; 
May  we,  when  help  is  needed,  there 

Give  help  as  unto  Thee. 


6  And  may  Thy  Holy  Spirit  move 
All  those  who  live,  to  live  in  love, 
Till  Thou  shalt  greet  in  heaven  above 
All  those  who  live  to  Thee. 

Rev.  Godfrey  Thring,  1877  :  verse  6,  1.  4,  alt. 


174     (REMSEN)     C.  M. 

LORD,  lead  the  way  the  Saviour  went, 
By  lane  and  cell  obscure ; 

And  let  love's  treasures  still  be  spent, 
Like  His,  upon  the  poor. 

2  Like  Him,  through  scenes  of  deep 
distress, 
Who  bore  the  world's  sad  weight, 
We,  in  their  crowded  loneliness, 
Would  seek  the  desolate. 


3  For  Thou  hast  placed  us  side  by  side 

In  this  wide  world  of  ill ; 
And,  that    Thy    followers    may    be 
tried, 
The  poor  are  with  us  still. 

4  Mean  are  all  offerings  we  can  make  ; 

Yet  Thou  hast  taught  us,  Lord, 
If  given  for  the  Saviour's  sake, 
They  lose  not  their  reward.

O  joy,  that  gentle  voice  to  hear  ! 

3  O  more  than  joy,  to  that  dear  Lord, 
In  purest,  deepest  love  adored, 
All  lowly  service  to  afford  ! 

4  O  Jesus,  throned  above  the  height, 
Adoring  troops  of  angels  bright 
Wait  on  Thy  bidding  day  and  night 


5  Thy  sacred  form  we  cannot  see, 

Yet,  Lord,  these  hands  may  render  Thee 
Each  lowly  act  of  charity. 

6  For  while  'mid  want  and  woe  we  move, 
And  tend  Thy  poor  in  gentle  love, 
We  minister  to  Thee  above. 

7  O  gracious  Jesus,  we  confess 

Our  poor  cold  love,  our  nothingness  : 
Yet  Thou  wilt  own, and  Thou  wilt  bless.

Brings  tidings  from  afar 
Of  nations  in  commotion, 

Prepared  for  Zion's  war.

Come  with  thy  cheering  ray  ; 
When  shall  the  morning  brighten, 

The  shadows  flee  away  ?

It  cheers  the  watchers  on 
To  pray,  and  hope,  and  labor,

And  in  Thy  fold  with  us  rejoice. 


And  infant    voices    shall 

proclaim 
Their   early  blessings   on 

His  Name. 

4  Blessings  abound  where'er 
He  reigns  ; 
The  prisoner  leaps  to  lose 
his  chains, 
The  weary  find  eternal  rest, 
And  all  the  sons  of  want  are  blest. 

5  Let  every  creature  rise  and  bring 
Peculiar  honors  to  our  King, 
Angels  descend  with  songs  again, 
And  earth  repeat  the  loud  Amen. 

Rev.  Isaac  Watts,  1719 


3  Shine  on  the  darkened  and  the  cold  ; 
Recall  the  wanderers  from  Thy  fold  ; 
Unite  those  now  who  walk  apart ; 
Confirm  the  weak  and  doubting  heart : 

2  And  all  who  else  have  strayed  from  4  So  they  with  us  may  evermore 

Thee,  Such    grace   with   wondering   thanks 

O  gently  seek  ;  Thy  healing  be  adore, 

To  every  wounded  conscience  given ;      And  endless  praise  to  Thee  be  given 
And  let  them  also  share  Thy  heaven.       By  all  the  Church  in  earth  and  heaven.

2  Before  our  Father's  throne 

We  pour  our  ardent  prayers  ; 
Our  fears,  our  hopes,  our  aims,  are  one, 
Our  comforts  and  our  cares. 

3  We  share  our  mutual  woes, 

Our  mutual  burdens  bear, 
And  often  for  each  other  flows 
The  sympathizing  tear. 


r 

4  When  we  asunder  part, 

It  gives  us  inward  pain  ; 
But  we  shall  still  be  joined  in  heart, 
And  hope  to  meet  again. 

5  This  glorious  hope  revives 

Our  courage  by  the  way, 
While  each  in  expectation  lives, 
And  longs  to  see  the  day. 


6  From  sorrow,  toil,  and  pain, 
And  sin,  we  shall  be  free ; 
And  perfect  love  and  friendship  reign 
Through  all  eternity.

They  enjoy  the  Saviour's  peace ; 
All  their  sins  are  washed  away,

They  shall  stand  in  God's  great  day: 
With  them  numbered  may  we  be,

Children  of  a  heavenly  birth ;

1  GIVE  me  the  wings  of  faith  to  rise 

Within  the  veil,  and  see 
The  saints  above,  how  great  their  joys, 
And  bright  their  glories  be. 

2  Once  they  were  mourning  here  below, 

And  wet  their  couch  with  tears ; 
They  wrestled  hard,  as  we  do  now, 
With  sins,  and  doubts,  and  fears. 

3  I  ask  them  whence  their  victory  came; 

They,  with  united  breath, 


Part  of  His  host  hath  crossed  the  flood, 
And  part  is  crossing  now. 

His  militant,  embodied  host, 
With  wishful  looks  we  stand, 

And  long  to  see  that  happy  coast, 
And  reach  that  heavenly  land : 

E'en  now  by  faith  we  join  our  hands 
With  those  that  went  before, 

And  greet  the  blood-besprinkled  bands 
On  the  eternal  shore. 

Rev.  Charles  Wesley,  1759 


Ascribe  their  conquest  to  the  Lamb, 
Their  triumph  to  His  death. 

4  They  marked  the  footsteps  that  He  trod, 

His  zeal  inspired  their  breast ; 
And,  following  their  incarnate  God, 
Possess  the  promised  rest. 

5  Our  glorious  Leader  claims  our  praise 

For  His  own  pattern  given, 
While  the  long  cloud  of  witnesses 
Show  the  same  path  to  heaven.

In  weariness  and  woe, 
That  through  eternity 

Thy  glory  I  might  know : 
Long  years  were  spent  for  me ; 
Have  I  spent  one  for  Thee  ? 

3  And  Thou  hast  brought  to  me 

Down  from  Thy  home  above 
Salvation  full  and  free, 

Thy  pardon  and  Thy  love : 


Great  gifts  Thou  broughtest  me ; 
What  have  I  brought  to  Thee  ?

William  Cowper,  1772 


203     (OLMUTZ)     S.  M. 

[  NOT  all  the  blood  of  beasts 
On  Jewish  altars  slain, 
Could  give  the  guilty  conscience  peace, 
Or  wash  away  the  stain  : 

i  But  Christ,  the  heavenly  Lamb, 
Takes  all  our  sins  away, 
A  sacrifice  of  nobler  name 
And  richer  blood  than  they. 


My  faith  would  lay  her  hand 
On  that  dear  head  of  Thine, 

While  like  a  penitent  I  stand, 
And  there  confess  my  sin. 

My  soul  looks  back  to  see 
The  burdens  Thou  didst  bear, 

When  hanging  on  the  cursed  tree, 
And  hopes  her  guilt  was  there.

2  There's  a  wideness  in  God's  mercy,    3  There  is  plentiful  redemption 

Like  the  wideness  of  the  sea ;  In  the  blood  that  has  been  shed ; 

There's  a  kindness  in  His  justice,  There  is  joy  for  all  the  members 

Which  is  more  than  liberty.  In  the  sorrows  of  the  Head. 

There  is  welcome  for  the  sinner,  If  our  love  were  but  more  simple, 

And  more  graces  for  the  good  ;  We  should  take  Him  at  His  word ; 

There  is  mercy  with  the  Saviour,  And  our  lives  would  be  all  sunshine 

There  is  healing  in  His  blood ;  In  the  sweetness  of  our  Lord.

2  Why  should  we  tarry  when  Jesus  is  pleading, 

Pleading  for  you  and  for  me  ? 
Why  should  we  linger  and  heed  not  His  mercies, 
Mercies  for  you  and  for  me  ? — ref. 

3  O  for  the  wonderful  love  He  has  promised, 

Promised  for  you  and  for  me ; 
Though  we  have  sinned  He  has  mercy  and  pardon, 
Pardon  for  you  and  for  me. — ref.

2  Take  up  thy  cross ;  let  not  its  weight 

Fill  thy  weak  soul  with  vain  alarm ; 
His  strength  shall  bear  thy  spirit  up, 
And   brace  thy  heart,  and  nerve 
thine  arm. 

3  Take  up  thy  cross;  nor  heed  the  shame, 

And  let  thy  foolish  pride  be  still ; 
Thy  Lord  refused  not  e'en  to  die 
Upon  a  cross,  on  Calvary's  hill.

4  Take  up  thy  cross,  then,  in  His  strength, 

And  calmly  sin's  wild  deluge  brave ; 
'Twill  guide  thee  to  a  better  home, 
It  points  to  glory  o'er  the  grave. 

5  Take  up  thy  cross,  and  follow  on, 

Nor  think  till  death  to  lay  it  down  ; 
For  only  he  who  bears  the  cross 
May  hope  to  wear  the  glorious  crown.

1  BEHOLD !  a  Stranger's  at  the  door ; 
He  gently  knocks,  has  knocked  before ; 
Has  waited  long,  is  waiting  still : 
You  treat  no  other  friend  so  ill. 

2  But  will  He  prove  a  friend  indeed? 
He  will,  the  very  Friend  you  need ; 
The  Man  of  Nazareth,  'tis  He, 
With  garments  dyed  at  Calvary. 


3  O  lovely  attitude  !  He  stands 
With  melting  heart  and  laden  hands  : 
O  matchless  kindness !  and  He  shows 
This  matchless  kindness  to  His  foes. 

4  Rise,  touched  with  gratitude  Divine ; 
Turn  out  His  enemy  and  thine, 

That  soul-destroying  monster,  sin, 
And  let  the  heavenly  Stranger  in. 


5  Admit  Him  ere  His  anger  burn  ; 
His  feet,  departed,  ne'er  return  : 
Admit  Him,  or  the  hour's  at  hand 
When  at  His  door  denied  you'll  stand.

2  O  Jesus,  Thou  art  knocking ; 

And  lo,  that  hand  is  scarred, 
And  thorns  Thy  brow  encircle, 

And  tears  Thy  face  have  marred  : 
O  love  that  passeth  knowledge, 

So  patiently  to  wait ! 
O  sin  that  hath  no  equal, 

So  fast  to  bar  the  gate ! 


3  O  Jesus,  Thou  art  pleading 

In  accents  meek  and  low, 
"  I  died  for  you,  My  children, 

And  will  ye  treat  Me  so  ?' ' 
O  Lord,  with  shame  and  sorrow 

We  open  now  the  door ; 
Dear  Saviour,  enter,  enter, 

And  leave  us  nevermore.

To-day  the  Father  calls  me, 

The  Holy  Spirit  waits, 
The  blessed  angels  gather 

Around  the  heavenly  gates  : 
No  question  will  be  asked  me, 

How  often  I  have  come ; 
Although  I  oft  have  wandered, 

It  is  my  Father's  home. 


0  all-embracing  mercy, 
Thou  ever-open  door, 

What  shall  I  do  without  thee 
When  heart  and  eyes  run  o'er  ? 

When  all  things  seem  against  me, 
To  drive  me  to  despair, 

1  know  one  gate  is  open, 

One  ear  will  hear  my  prayer.

"Say,  poor  sinner,  lovest  Thou  Me?

And,  when  bleeding, healed  thy  wound; 
Sought  thee  wandering,  set  thee  right, 
Turned  thy  darkness  into  light. 

3  "Can  a  woman's  tender  care 
Cease  towards  the  child  she  bare? 
Yes,  she  may  forgetful  be, 

Yet  will  I  remember  thee. 


4  "Mine  is  an  unchanging  love, 
Higher  than  the  heights  above, 
Deeper  than  the  depths  beneath, 
Free  and  faithful,  strong  as  death. 

5  "Thou  shalt  see  My  glory  soon, 
When  the  work  of  grace  is  done ; 
Partner  of  My  throne  shalt  be : 
Say,  poor  sinner,  lovest  thou  Me?" 

6  Lord,  it  is  my  chief  complaint, 
That  my  love  is  weak  and  faint ; 
Yet  I  love  Thee  and  adore  ; 

O  for  grace  to  love  Thee  more  !

Room,  room,  still  room  !     O  enter,  enter  now.

Room,  room,  still  room  !     O  enter,  enter  now.

The  gate  of  love  ;  it  is  not  yet  too  late  : 
Room,  room,  still  room  !     O  enter,  enter  now. 

5  Louder  and  sweeter  sounds  the  loving  call ; 
Come,  lingerer,  come  ;  enter  that  festal  hall : 
Room,  room,  still  room  !     O  enter,  enter  now. 

6  Ere  night  that  gate  may  close,  and  seal  thy  doom ;

Evil  is  ever  with  me  day  by  day  ;

His  are  the  hands  stretched  out  to  draw  me  near, 
And  His  the  blood  that  can  for  all  atone, 
And  set  me  faultless  there  before  the  throne. 

5  Yea,  Thou  wilt  answer  for  me,  righteous  Lord ; 
Thine  all  the  merits,  mine  the  great  reward ; 
Thine  the  sharp  thorns,  and  mine  the  golden  crown ; 
Mine  the  life  won,  and  Thine  the  life  laid  down.

2  I  have  long  withstood  His  grace, 
Long  provoked  Him  to  His  face, 
Would  not  hearken  to  His  calls, 
Grieved  Him  by  a  thousand  falls. 

3  Kindled  His  relentings  are  ; 
Me  He  now  delights  to  spare ; 


Cries,  "  How  shall  I  give  Thee  up?" 
Lets  the  lifted  thunder  drop. 

4  There  for  me  the  Saviour  stands, 
Shows  His  wounds,and  spreads  His  hands;

Oft  forgotten  and  defied, 

Now  we  mourn  our  stubborn  pride  : 
We  beseech  Thee,  hear  us. 

4  Love  that  caused  us  first  to  be, 
Love  that  bled  upon  the  tree, 
Love  that  draws  us  lovingly  : 

We  beseech  Thee,  hear  us. 

HAMBURG    L.  M. 


5  Thou  who  hearest  each  contrite  sigh, 
Bidding  sinful  souls  draw  nigh, 
Willing  not  that  one  should  die, 

We  beseech  Thee,  hear  us. 

6  By  the  love  that  bids  Thee  spare, 
By  the  heaven  Thou  dost  prepare, 
By  Thy  promises  to  prayer, 

We  beseech  Thee,  hear  us. 

Rev.  Thomas  B.  Pollock,  1875

Lord,  I  confess  to  Thee 

Sadly  my  sin  ; 
All  I  am  tell  I  Thee, 

All  I  have  been  : 
Purge  Thou  my  sin  away, 
Wash  Thou  my  soul  this  day  ; 

Lord,  make  me  clean. 


3  Faithful  and  just  art  Thou, 

Forgiving  all  ; 
Loving  and  kind  art  Thou 

When  poor  ones  call : 
Lord,  let  the  cleansing  blood, 
Blood  of  the  Lamb  of  God, 

Pass  o'er  my  soul. 

4  Then  all  is  peace  and  light 

This  soul  within  ; 
Thus  shall  I  walk  with  Thee, 

The  loved  Unseen ; 
Leaning  on  Thee,  my  God, 
Guided  along  the  road, 

Nothing  between. 

Rev.  Horatius  Bonar,  1866 


229     (HAMBURG)     I.  M. 

i  O  Thou  that  hear'st  when  sinners  cry, 
Though  all  my  crimes  before  Thee  lie, 
Behold  them  not  with  angry  look, 
But  blot  their  memory  from  Thy  book. 

2  Create  my  nature  pure  within, 
And  form  my  soul  averse  to  sin ; 
Let  Thy  good  Spirit  ne'er  depart, 
Nor  hide  Thy  presence  from  my  heart. 


3  I  cannot  live  without  Thy  light, 
Cast  out  and  banished  from  Thy  sight 
Thy  holy  joys,  my  God,  restore, 
And  guard  me,  that  I  fall  no  more. 

4  A  broken  heart,  my  God,  my  King, 
Is  all  the  sacrifice  I  bring ; 

The  God  of  grace  will  ne'er  despise 
A  broken  heart  for  sacrifice.

4  I  was  a  wandering  sheep, 

I  would  not  be  controlled  ; 
But  now  I  love  my  Shepherd's  voice, 

I  love,  I  love  the  fold. 
I  was  a  wayward  child, 

I  once  preferred  to  roam ; 
But  now  1  love  my  Father's  voice, 

I  love,  I  love  His  home. 

Rev.  HorsUius  Eonar,  1843 


3  Jesus  my  Shepherd  is ; 

'Twas  He  that  loved  my  soul, 
'  Twas  He  that  washed  me  in  His  blood, 

'Twas  He  that  made  me  whole ; 
'Twas  He  that  sought  the  lost, 

That  found  the  wandering  sheep, 
'Twas  He  that  brought  me  to  the  fold, 

'Tis  He  that  still  doth  keep.

2  Fruitless  years  with  grief  recalling, 

Humbly  I  confess  my  sin ; 
At  Thy  feet,  O  Father,  falling, 

To  Thy  household  take  me  in. 
Freely  now  to  Thee  I  proffer 

This  relenting  heart  of  mine ; 
Freely  life  and  soul  I  offer, 

Gift  unworthy  love  like  Thine. 


3  Once  the  world's  Redeemer,  dying, 

Bore  our  sins  upon  the  tree ; 
On  that  sacrifice  relying, 

Now  I  look  in  hope  to  Thee : 
Father,  take  me  ;  all  forgiving, 

Fold  me  to  Thy  loving  breast; 
In  Thy  love  for  ever  living 

I  must  be  for  ever  blest.

From  Thee  aside.

When  death's  cold,  sullen  stream

O  bear  me  safe  above,

Still  support  and  comfort  me.

Hoping  against  hope  I  stand, 

Dying,  and  behold  I  live  !

Raise  the  fallen,  cheer  the  faint, 

Heal  the  sick,  and  lead  the  blind. 
Just  and  holy  is  Thy  Name  ; 

I  am  all  unrighteousness ; 
False  and  full  of  sin  I  am, 

Thou  art  full  of  truth  and  grace. 

5  Plenteous  grace  with  Thee  is  found, 

Grace  to  cover  all  my  sin ; 
Let  the  healing  streams  abound  ; 

Make  and  keep  me  pure  within.

Freely  let  me  take  of  Thee  j 
Spring  Thou  up  within  my  heart, 

Rise  to  all  eternity.

I  rest  my  soul  on  Jesus, 

This  weary  soul  of  mine ; 
His  right  hand  me  embraces, 

I  on  His  breast  recline. 
I  love  the  Name  of  Jesus, 

Emmanuel,  Christ,  the  Lord  ; 
Like  fragrance  on  the  breezes 

His  Name  abroad  is  poured. 


I        I       ■       ' 
I  long  to  be  like  Jesus, 

Meek,  loving,  lowly,  mild;

The  Father's  holy  Child: 
I  long  to  be  with  Jesus 

Amid  the  heavenly  throng, 
To  sing  with  saints  His  praises, 

To  learn  the  angels'  song.

2  Not  the  labors  of  my  hands 
Can  fulfil  Thy  law's  demands ; 
Could  my  zeal  no  respite  know, 
Could  my  tears  for  ever  flow, 
All  for  sin  could  not  atone ; 
Thou  must  save,  and  Thou  alone. 

3  Nothing  in  my  hand  I  bring, 
Simply  to  Thy  cross  I  cling ; 
Naked,  come  to  Thee  for  dress, 

Rev.  Augustus  M.  Toplady 


Helpless,  look  to  Thee  for  grace ; 
Foul,  I  to  the  fountain  fly ; 
Wash  me,  Saviour,  or  I  die. 

4  While  I  draw  this  fleeting  breath, 
When  my  eyelids  close  in  death, 
When  I  soar  to  worlds  unknown, 
See  Thee  on  Thy  judgment  throne, 
Rock  of  Ages,  cleft  for  me, 
Let  me  hide  myself  in  Thee.

I  shall  full  salvation  find. 

Ref. — I  am  trusting,  Lord,  in  Thee, 
Blessed  Lamb  of  Calvary ; 
Humbly  at  Thy  cross  I  bow ; 
Save  me,  Jesus,  save  me  now. 

2  Long  my  heart  has  sighed  for  Thee : 
Long  has  evil  reigned  within  ; 


Jesus  sweetly  speaks  to  me, 

"I  will  cleanse  you  from  all  sin. " — ref. 

3  Here  I  give  my  all  to  Thee, — 
Friends  and  time  and  earthly  store ; 

Soul  and  body  Thine  to  be, 

Wholly  Thine,  for  ever  more. — ref. 

4  In  the  promises  I  trust ; 
Now  I  feel  the  blood  applied  ; 

I  am  prostrate  in  the  dust ; 

I  with  Christ  am  crucified. — ref.

O  help  us,  Lord,  the  more. 


3  O  help  us,  through  the  prayer  of  faith 
More  firmly  to  believe; 

For  still,  the  more  the  servant  hath, 
The  more  shall  he  receive.

i  SURROUNDED    by    unnumbered 
foes, 
Against  my  soul  the  battle  goes ; 
Yet  though  I  weary,  sore  distrest, 
I  know  that  I  shall  reach  my  rest : 
I  lift  my  tearful  eyes  above, — 
His  banner  over  me  is  love. 


2  Its  sword  my  spirit  will  not  yield, 
Though  flesh  may  faint  upon  the  field; 
He  waves  before  my  fading  sight 
The   branch  of  palm,  the   crown  of 

light : 
I  lift  my  brightening  eyes  above> — 
His  banner  over  me  is  love. 


3  My  cloud  of  battle-dust  may  dim, 
His  veil  of  splendor  curtain  Him ; 
And  in  the  midnight  of  my  fear 
I  may  not  feel  Him  standing  near : 
But,  as  I  lift  mine  eyes  above, 
His  banner  over  me  is  love.

2  Hell  and  thy  sins  resist  thy  course  ; 
But  hell   and    sin   are   vanquished

Thy  Jesus  nailed  them  to  the  cross, 
And  sung  the  triumph  when  He  rose.

Ten  thousand  foes  arise, 
A  host  of  sins  are  pressing  hard 
To  draw  thee  from  the  skies. 

2  O  watch,  and  fight,  and  pray; 

The  battle  ne'er  give  o'er ; 
Renew  it  boldly  every  day, 
And  help  Divine  implore. 


3  Ne'er  think  the  victory  won, 

Nor  lay  thine  armor  down  ; 
Thine  arduous  work  will  not  be  done, 
Till  thou  obtain  thy  crown. 

4  Fight  on,  my  soul,  till  death 

Shall  bring  thee  to  thy  God  ; 
He'll  take  thee,  at  thy  parting  breath, 
Up  to  His  blest  abode.

3  If  with  sore  affliction 

Thou  in  love  chastise, 
Pour  Thy  benediction 

On  the  sacrifice; 
Then,  upon  Thine  altar 

Freely  offered  up, 
Though  the  flesh  may  falter, 

Faith  shall  drink  the  cup. 


4  When  in  dust  and  ashes 

To  the  grave  I  sink, 
While  heaven's  glory  flashes 

O'er  the  shelving  brink,

Through  that  mortal  strife,

2  Thy  love  the  powers  of  thought  be- 

stowed ; 
To  Thee  my  thoughts  would  soar: 
Thy  mercy  o'er  my  life  has  flowed; 
That  mercy  I  adore. 

3  In  each  event  of  life,  how  clear 
Thy  ruling  hand  I  see ;

Because  conferred  by  Thee.

1  FATHER  of  Love,  our  Guide  and 
O  lead  us  gently  on,  [Friend, 

Until  life's  trial  time  shall  end, 
And  heavenly  peace  be  won. 

2  We  know  not  what  the  path  may  be 
As  yet  by  us  untrod ; 

But  we  can  trust  our  all  to  Thee, 
Our  Father  and  our  God. 

3  If  called,  like  Abraham's  child, to  climb 
The  hill  of  sacrifice, 

Some  angel  may  be  there  in  time; 
Deliverance  shall  arise : 


My  heart  shall  find  delight  in  praise, 
Or  seek  relief  in  prayer. 

5  When  gladness  wings  my  favored  hour, 
Thy  love  my  thoughts  shall  fill ; 

Resigned,  when  storms  of  sorrow  lower, 
My  soul  shall  meet  Thy  will. 

6  My  lifted  eye,  without  a  tear, 
The  lowering  storm  shall  see; 

My  steadfast  heart  shall  know  no  fear; 
That  heart  will  rest  on  Thee. 

Helen  M.  Williams,  1786 


4  Or,  if  some  darker  lot  be  good, 
O  teach  us  to  endure 

The  sorrow,  pain,  or  solitude, 
That  make  the  spirit  pure. 

5  Christ  by  no  flowery  pathway  came ; 
And  we,  His  followers  here, 

Must  do  Thy  will  and  praise  Thy  Name, 
In  hope,  and  love,  and  fear. 

6  And,  till  in  heaven  we  sinless  bow, 

And  faultless  anthems  raise, 
O  Father,  Son,  and  Spirit,  now 
Accept  our  feeble  praise. 

Rev.  William  J.  Irons,  1844

2  My  soul  He  doth  restore  again  ; 

And  me  to  walk  doth  make 
Within  the  paths  of  righteousness, 
Ev'n  for  His  own  Name's  sake. 

3  Yea,  though  I  walk  in  death' s  dark  vale, 

Yet  will  I  fear  none  ill ; 
For  Thou  art  with  me,  and  Thy  rod 
And  staff  me  comfort  still. 


4  My  table  Thou  hast  furnished 

In  presence  of  my  foes; 
My  head  Thou  dost  with  oil  anoint, 
And  my  cup  overflows. 

5  Goodness  and  mercy  all  my  life 

Shall  surely  follow  me; 
And  in  God's  house  for  evermore 
My  dwelling-place  shall  be.

1  O  GOD  of  Bethel,  by  whose  hand 
Thy  people  still  are  fed, 
Who  through  this  weary  pilgrimage 
Hast  all  our  fathers  led, 


3  Through  each  perplexing  path  of  life 
Our  wandering  footsteps  guide ; 
Give  us  each  day  our  daily  bread, 
And  raiment  fit  provide. 


2  Our  vows,  our  prayers,  we  now  present  4  O  spread  Thy  covering  wings  around 

Before  Thy  throne  of  grace;  Till  all  our  wanderings  cease, 

God  of  our  fathers,  be  the  God  And  at  our  Father's  loved  abode 

Of  their  succeeding  race.  Our  souls  arrive  in  peace. 

5  Such  blessings  from  Thy  gracious  hand 
Our  humble  prayers  implore  ; 
And  Thou  shalt  be  our  chosen  God, 
And  portion  evermore.

Though  seen  through  many  a  tear, 
Let  not  my  star  of  hope 

Grow  dim  or  disappear.

And  safe  is  such  confiding, 

For  nothing  changes  here. 
The  storm  may  roar  without  me,

But  God  is  round  about  me, 

And  can  I  be  dismayed  ?

Entirely  to  Thy  care.

As  best  may  seem  to  Thee, 


While  He  affords  His  aid 

I  cannot  yield  to  fear ; 
Though  I  should  walk  through  death's 
dark  shade, 

My  Shepherd's  with  me  there. 

The  bounties  of  Thy  Jove 

Shall  crown  my  following  days; 

Nor  from  Thy  house  will  I  remove, 
Nor  cease  to  speak  Thy  praise. 

Rev.  Isaac  Watts,  1719 


My  times  are  in  Thy  hand  ; 

Why  should  I  doubt  or  fear  ? 
A  Father's  hand  will  never  cause 

His  child  a  needless  tear. 

My  times  are  in  Thy  hand. 

Jesus  the  crucified ; 
The  hand  my  cruel  sins  had  pierced 

Is  now  my  guard  and  guide.

Will  lead  me  on 
O'er  moor  and  fen,  o'er  crag  and  torrent,  till

2  When  storms  of  fierce  temptation  beat,

Lead  me  aright, 
Though  strength  should  falter  and

1  THERE  is  a  safe  and  secret  place, 

Beneath  the  wings  Divine, 
Reserved  for  all  the  heirs  of  grace ; 
O  be  that  refuge  mine  ! 

2  The  least  and  feeblest  there  may  bide, 

Uninjured  and  unawed ; 
While  thousands  fall  on  every  side, 
He  rests  secure  in  God. 


Give  but  a  ray  of  peace,  that  I  may 
tread 
Without  a  fear. 

5  I  do  not  ask  my  cross   to   under- 

stand, 
My  way  to  see ; 
Better  in  darkness  just  to  feel  Thy 
hand, 
And  follow  Thee. 

6  Joy  is  like  restless  day;  but  peace 

Divine 
Like  quiet  night : 
Lead  me,  O  Lord,  till  perfect  day 
shall  shine, 
Through  peace  to  light. 

Adelaide  A.  Procter,  1862 


3  He  feeds  in  pastures,  large  and  fair,

O  child  of  God,  O  glory's  heir, 
How  rich  a  lot  is  thine  ! 

4  A  hand  almighty  to  defend, 

An  ear  for  every  call, 
An  honored  life,  a  peaceful  end, 
And  heaven  to  crown  it  all !

2  Let  mountains  from   their  seats  be 

hurled 
Down  to  the  deep,  and  buried  there, 
Convulsions  shake  the  solid  world, 
Our  faith  shall  never  yield  to  fear. 

3  Loud  may  the  troubled  ocean  roar; 
In  sacred  peace  our  souls  abide, 

While  every  nation,  every  shore, 

Trembles,  and  dreads  the  swelling  tide, 


4  There  is  a  stream  whose  gentle  flow 
Supplies  the  city  of  our  God ; 

Life,  love,  and  joy,  still  gliding  through, 
And  watering  our  Divine  abode. 

5  That  sacred  stream,  Thy  holy  word, 
Our  grief  allays,  our  fear  controls ; 

Sweet  peace  Thy  promises  afford, 
And  give  new  strength   to   fainting 
souls. 


6  Zion  enjoys  her  Monarch's  love, 

Secure  against  a  threatening  hour ; 
Nor  can  her  firm  foundations  move, 

Built  on  His  truth,  and  armed  with  power.

How  kind  His  precepts  are  ! 

Come,  cast  your  burdens  on  the  Lord, 
And  trust  His  constant  care. 

2  While  Providence  supports, 
Let  saints  securely  dwell ; 

That  hand,  which  bears  all  nature  up, 
Shall  guide  His  children  well. 


3  Why  should  this  anxious  load 
Press  down  your  weary  mind  ? 

Haste  to  your  heavenly  Father's  throne, 
And  sweet  refreshment  find. 

4  His  goodness  stands  approved, 
Down  to  the  present  day; 

I'll  drop  my  burden  at  His  feet, 
And  bear  a  song  away.

Sees  naught  but  sunshine  glad.

Stored  up  for  us  above.

2  We  may  not  climb  the  heavenly  steeps 

To  bring  the  Lord  Christ  down ; 
In  vain  we  search  the  lowest  deeps, 
For  Him  no  depths  can  drown : 

3  But  warm,  sweet,  tender,  even  yet 

A  present  Help  is  He  ; 
And  faith  has  still  its  Olivet, 
And  love  its  Galilee. 

4  The  healing  of  His  seamless  dress 

Is  by  our  beds  of  pain ; 


We  touch  Him  in  life's  throng   and 
And  we  are  whole  again.        [press, 

5  Through  Him  the  first  fond  prayers  are 

Our  lips  of  childhood  frame ;    [said 
The  last  low  whispers  of  our  dead 
Are  burdened  with  His  Name. 

6  Our  Lord,  and  Master  of  us  all, 

Whate'er  our  name  or  sign, 
We  own  Thy  sway,  we  hear  Thy  call, 
We  test  our  lives  by  Thine. 

John  G.  Whittier,  1866 


287    (ORTONVILLE  or  FAITH)    C.  M. 

MAJESTIC  sweetness  sits  enthroned 

Upon  the  Saviour's  brow; 
His  head  with  radiant  glories  crowned, 

His  lips  with  grace  o'erflow. 


4  To  Him  I  owe  my  life  and  breath, 
And  all  the  joys  I  have ; 
He  makes  me  triumph  over  death, 
And  saves  me  from  the  grave. 


No  mortal  can  with  Him  compare, 
Among  the  sons  of  men  ; 

Fairer  is  He  than  all  the  fair 
That  fill  the  heavenly  train. 

He  saw  me  plunged  in  deep  distress, 

He  flew  to  my  relief; 
For  me  He  bore  the  shameful  cross, 

And  carried  all  my  grief. 


5  To  heaven,  the  place  of  His  abode, 

He  brings  my  weary  feet ; 
Shows  me  the  glories  of  my  God, 
And  makes  my  joys  complete. 

6  Since  from  His  bounty  I  receive 

Such  proofs  of  love  Divine, 
Had  I  a  thousand  hearts  to  give, 
Lord,  they  should  all  be  Thine-

2  When  once  Thou  visitest  the  heart,  4  May  every  heart  confess  Thy  Name, 

Then  truth  begins  to  shine,  And  ever  Thee  adore  ; 

Then  earthly  vanities  depart,  And  seeking  Thee,  itself  inflame 

Then  kindles  love  Divine.  To  seek  Thee  more  and  more. 

3  O  Jesus,  Light  of  all  below,  5  Thee  may  our  tongues  for  ever  bless  ; 

Thou  Fount  of  life  and  fire,  Thee  may  we  love  alone  ; 

Surpassing  all  the  joys  we  know,  And  ever  in  our  lives  express 

And  all  we  can  desire  !  The  image  of  Thine  own.

And  calms  the  troubled  breast; 
'Tis  Manna  to  the  hungry  soul, 
And  to  the  weary  Rest. 


4  Jesus,  my  Shepherd,  Brother,  Friend, 
My  Prophet,  Priest,  and  King, 
My  Lord,  my  Life,  my  Way,  my  End, 
Accept  the  praise  I  bring. 


3  Dear  Name!  the  Rock  on  which  I  build,  5  Weak  is  the  effort  of  my  heart, 

My  Shield  and  Hiding-place,  And  cold  my  warmest  thought; 

My  never-failing  Treasury,  filled  But  when  I  see  Thee  as  Thou  art, 

With  boundless  stores  of  grace;  I'll  praise  Thee  as  I  ought. 

6  Till  then  I  would  Thy  love  proclaim 
With  every  fleeting  breath  ; 
And  may  the  music  of  Thy  Name 
Refresh  my  soul  in  death.

JESUS,  I  love  Thy  charming  Name, 

'Tis  music  to  mine  ear; 
Fain  would  I  sound  it  out  so  loud 

That  earth  and  heaven  should  hear. 

Yes,  Thou  art  precious  to  my  soul, 
My  Transport  and  my  Trust ; 

Jewels  to  Thee  are  gaudy  toys, 
And  gold  is  sordid  dust. 


3  All  my  capacious  powers  can  wish 

In  Thee  doth  richly  meet ; 
Not  to  mine  eyes  is  light  so  dear, 
Nor  friendship  half  so  sweet. 

4  Thy  grace  still  dwells  upon  my  heart, 

And  sheds  its  fragrance  there ; 
The  noblest  balm  of  all  its  wounds, 
The  cordial  of  its  care.

Nor  can  the  memory  find,  Nor  tongue  nor  pen  can  show : 

A  sweeter  sound  than  Thy  blest  Name,  The  love  of  Jesus,  what  it  is 

O  Saviour  of  mankind.  None  but  His  loved  ones  know.

Only  in  Thee  abiding, 

The  conflict  can  endure  :

O'er  every  hateful  foe  ; 
Thy  love  my  heart  sustaineth 

In  all  its  care  and  woe.

Of  all  Thy  power  and  grace ;

The  wonders  of  Thy  love, 
Shall  be  the  endless  story

Never  more  Thy  temples  leave.

He  bled,  He  died  to  save  me ; 
And  not  alone  the  gift  of  life, 

But  His  own  self  He  gave  me. 
Naught  that  I  have  mine  own  I'll  call,

My  heart,  my  strength,  my  life,  my  all,

So  mighty  a  Defender  ! 
From  Him  who  loves  me  now  so  well

Shall  life  or  death,  shall  earth  or  hell?

Yet  art  Thou  oft  with  me ; 
And  earth  hath  ne'er  so  dear  a  spot 
As  where  I  meet  with  Thee.

Thine  image  ever  fills  my  thought,

1  JESUS,  Thou  art  the  sinner's  Friend; 
As  such  I  look  to  Thee ; 

Now,  in  the  fulness  of  Thy  love, 

0  Lord,  remember  me. 

2  Remember  Thy  pure  word  of  grace, 
Remember  Calvary's  tree, 

Remember  all  Thy  dying  groans, 
And  then  remember  me. 

3  Thou  wondrous  Advocate  with  God, 

1  yield  my  soul  to  Thee; 

While  Thou  art  pleading  on  the  throne, 
Dear  Lord,  remember  me. 


4  Lord,  I  am  guilty,  I  am  vile, 
But  Thy  salvation's  free ; 

Then,  in  Thine  all-abounding  grace, 
Dear  Lord,  remember  me. 

5  Howe'er  forsaken  or  despised, 
Howe'er  oppressed  I  be, 

Howe'er  forgotten  here  on  earth, 
Do  Thou  remember  me. 

6  And  when  I  close  my  eyes  in  death, 
And  human  help  shall  flee,

Loving  Him  who  first  loved  me.

In  obedience  all  her  joy; 
Ever  new  that  joy  will  be, 
Loving  Him  who  first  loved  me.

More  than  this  I  need  not  seek ; 
Singing,  till  Thy  face  I  see, 

Of  His  love  who  first  loved  me.

2  Peace,  perfect  peace,  by  thronging  duties  pressed? 
To  do  the  will  of  Jesus,  this  is  rest. 

3  Peace,  perfect  peace,  with  sorrows  surging  round? 
On  Jesus'  bosom  naught  but  calm  is  found. 

4  Peace,  perfect  peace,  with  loved  ones  far  away? 
In  Jesus'  keeping  we  are  safe,  and  they. 

5  Peace,  perfect  peace,  our  future  all  unknown? 
Jesus  we  know,  and  He  is  on  the  throne. 

6  Peace,  perfect  peace,  death  shadowing  us  and  ours? 
Jesus  has  vanquished  death  and  all  its  powers. 

7  It  is  enough :  earth's  struggles  soon  shall  cease, 
And  Jesus  call  us  to  heaven's  perfect  peace.

1  MY  spirit  on  Thy  care, 

Blest  Saviour,  I  recline; 
Thou  wilt  not  leave  me  to  despair, 
For  Thou  art  Love  Divine. 

2  In  Thee  I  place  my  trust, 

On  Thee  I  calmly  rest; 
I  know  Thee  good,  I  know  Thee  just, 
And  count  Thy  choice  the  best. 


3  Whate'er  events  betide, 

Thy  will  they  all  perform ; 
Safe  in  Thy  breast  my  head  I  hide. 
Nor  fear  the  coming  storm. 

4  Let  good  or  ill  befall, 

It  must  be  good  for  me ; 
Secure  of  having  Thee  in  all, 
Of  having  all  in  Thee.

2  Which  of  all  our  friends,  to  save  us,     3  When  He  lived  on  earth  abased, 

Could  or  would  have  shed  their  blood  ?     "  Friend  of  sinners' '  was  His  name ; 
But  our  Jesus  died  to  have  us  Now  above  all  glory  raised, 

Reconciled  in  Him  to  God:  He  rejoices  in  the  same; 

This  was  boundless  love  indeed;  Still  He  calls  them  brethren,  friends, 

Jesus  is  a  Friend  in  need.  And  to  all  their  wants  attends. 

4  O  for  grace  our  hearts  to  soften ! 

Teach  us,  Lord,  at  length  to  love ; 
We,  alas !  forget  too  often 
What  a  Friend  we  have  above : 

But  when  home  our  souls  are  brought, 
We  will  love  Thee  as  we  ought. 

Rev.  John  Newton,  1779 


304     (ECKHARDTSHEIM)     CM. 

1  IF  Christ  is  mine,  then  all  is  mine, 
And  more  than  angels  know ; 

Both  present  things  and  things  to  come, 
And  grace  and  glory  too. 

2  If  He  is  mine,  then,  though  He  frown, 
He  never  will  forsake ; 

His  chastisements  all  work  for  good, 
And  but  His  love  bespeak. 

3  If  he  is  mine,  I  need  not  fear 
The  rage  of  earth  and  hell; 

He  will  support  my  feeble  frame, 
And  all  their  power  repel. 


4  If  He  is  mine,  let  friends  forsake, 
And  earthly  comforts  flee ; 

He,  the  Dispenser  of  all  good, 
Is  more  than  these  to  me. 

5  If  He  is  mine,  I'll  fearless  pass 
Through  death's  tremendous  vale; 

He'll  be  my  Comfort  and  my  Stay 
When  heart  and  flesh  shall  fail. 

6  Let  Jesus  tell  me  He  is  mine, 
I  nothing  want  beside : 

My  soul  shall  at  the  Fountain  live 
When  all  the  streams  are  dried.

Bleeding  on  the  accursed  tree, 
Heard  Him  pray,  "  Forgive  them,  Father!" 
And  my  wistful  heart  said  faintly, 

"  Some  of  self,  and  some  of  Thee." 

3  Day  by  day  His  tender  mercy, 

Healing,  helping,  full  and  free,

By  Thy  blood,  O  spotless  Lamb, 
Shed  so  willingly  for  me ; 

Let  my  heart  be  all  Thine  own, 

Let  me  live  to  Thee  alone. 


2  Other  lords  have  long  held  sway ; 
Now  Thy  Name  alone  to  bear, 
Thy  dear  voice  alone  obey 


Is  my  daily,  hourly  prayer. 
Whom  have  I  in  heaven  but  Thee  ? 
Nothing  else  my  joy  can  be. 

Jesus,  Master,  I  am  Thine ; 

Keep  me  faithful,  keep  me  near ; 
Let  Thy  presence  in  me  shine 

All  my  homeward  way  to  cheer.

2  He  saw  me  ruined  in  the  fall, 
Yet  loved  me  notwithstanding  all, 
And  saved  me  from  my  lost  estate, 
His  loving-kindness  is  so  great. 

3  Through  mighty  hosts  of  cruel  foes, 
Where  earth  and  hell  my  way  oppose, 
He  safely  leads  my  soul  along, 

His  loving-kindness  is  so  strong. 

4  So  when  I  pass  death's  gloomy  vale, 
And  life  and  mortal  powers  shall  fail, 
O  may  my  last  expiring  breath 

His  loving-kindness  sing  in  death. 

5  Then  shall  I  mount,  and  soar  away 
To  the  bright  world  of  endless  day ; 
There  shall  I  sing,  with  sweet  surprise, 
His  loving-kindness  in  the  skies.

2  O  Light  that  followest  all  my  way, 
I  yield  my  flickering  torch  to  Thee ; 
My  heart  restores  its  borrowed  ray, 
That  in  Thy  sunshine's  blaze  its  day 
May  brighter,  fairer  be.

1  CHRIST,  of  all  my  hopes  the  Ground, 

Christ,  the  Spring  of  all  my  joy, 
Still  in  Thee  may  I  be  found, 

Still  for  Thee  my  powers  employ. 

2  Fountain  of  o'erflowing  grace, 

Freely  from  Thy  fulness  give ; 
Till  I  close  my  earthly  race, 

May  I  prove  it  "Christ  to  live." 

3  Firmly  trusting  in  Thy  blood, 

Nothing  shall  my  heart  confound  ; 


3  O  Joy  that  seekest  me  through  pain, 

I  cannot  close  my  heart  to  Thee  ; 
I   trace   the    rainbow   through    the 

rain, 
And  feel  the  promise  is  not  vain 
That  morn  shall  tearless  be. 

4  O  Cross  that  liftest  up  my  head, 

I  dare  not  ask  to  fly  from  Thee ; 
I  lay  in  dust  life's  glory  dead, 
And  from  the  ground  there  blossoms 
red 
Life  that  shall  endless  be. 

Rev.  George  Matheson,  1882 


Safely  I  shall  pass  the  flood, 

Safely  reach  Emmanuel's  ground. 

4  When  I  touch  the  blessed  shore, 

Back  the  closing  waves  shall  roll ; 

Death's  dark  stream  shall  nevermore 

Part  from  Thee  my  ravished  soul. 

5  Thus,  O  thus,  an  entrance  give 

To  the  land  of  cloudless  sky ; 

Having  known  it  "Christ  to  live," 

Let  me  know  it  "  gain  to  die."

2  There  is  a  place  where  Jesus  sheds 
The  oil  of  gladness  on  our  heads, 
A  place  than  all  besides  more  sweet ; 
It  is  the  blood-stained  mercy-seat. 

3  There  is  a  spot  where  spirits  blend, 
Where  friend  holds  fellowship  with 

friend, 
Though  sundered  far ;  by  faith  they 

meet, 
Around  the  common  mercy-seat. 


4  Ah,  whither  could  we  flee  for  aid, 
When  tempted,  desolate,  dismayed, 
Or  how  the  hosts  of  hell  defeat, 
Had  suffering  saints  no  mercy-seat  ? 

5  There,  there  on  eagle  wings  we  soar, 
And   time   and   sense   seem   all  no 

more, 
And  heaven  comes  down  our  souls 

to  greet, 
And  glory  crowns  the  mercy-seat. 


6  O  may  my  hand  forget  her  skill, 
My  tongue  be  silent,  cold,  and  still, 
This  bounding  heart  forget  to  beat, 
If  I  forget  the  mercy-seat.

The  promise  calls  me  near : 
There  Jesus  shows  a  smiling  face, 
And  waits  to  answer  prayer. 


Thine  image,  Lord,  bestow, 
Thy  presence  and  Thy  love ; 

I  ask  to  serve  Thee  here  below, 
And  reign  with  Thee  above.

Thou  canst  not  be  too  bold  ;  Conform  my  will  to  Thine ; 

Since  His  own  blood  for  thee  He  spilt,  Let  me  victorious  be  in  death, 

What  else  can  He  withhold  ?  And  then  in  glory  shine.

Here  every  thought  and  fond  desire 

We  on  Thine  altar  lay ; 
And  when  our  souls  have  caught  Th y

In  prayer  to  Thee. 

Charlotte  Elliott,  1835  (text  of  1836) 
Thomas  Hastings,  1840 


2  Blest  is  that  tranquil  hour  of  morn, 
And  blest  that  solemn  hour  of  eve, 

When,  on  the  wings  of  prayer  upborne, 
The  world  I  leave. 

3  Then  is  my  strength  by  Thee   re- 

newed ; 
Then  are  my  sins  by  Thee  forgiven; 
Then  dost  Thou  cheer  my  solitude 
With  hopes  of  heaven.

That   eye,   that   arm,   that   love   to 
reach, 
That  listening  ear  to  gain. 

That  power  is  prayer,  which  soars  on 
high, 
Through  Jesus,  to  the  throne, 
And  moves  the  hand  which  moves  the 
world, 
To  bring  salvation  down. 

Rev.  James  C.  Wallace  (c.  1793-1841) 


2  There  is  an  arm  that  never  tires 

When  human  strength  gives  way; 
There  is  a  love  that  never  fails 
When  earthly  loves  decay. 

3  That  eye  is  fixed  on  seraph  throngs ; 

That  arm  upholds  the  sky  ; 
That  ear  is  filled  with  angel  songs ; 
That  love  is  throned  on  high. 

4  But  there's  a  power  which  man  can  wield 

When  mortal  aid  is  vain, 


325     (BYEFIELD)     C.  M. 

1  PRAYER  is  the  soul's  sincere  desire, 

Uttered  or  unexpressed, 
The  motion  of  a  hidden  fire 
That  trembles  in  the  breast. 

2  Prayer  is  the  burden  of  a  sigh, 

The  falling  of  a  tear, 
The  upward  glancing  of  an  eye 
When  none  but  God  is  near. 

3  Prayer  is  the  simplest  form  of  speech 

That  infant  lips  can  try ; 
Prayer  the  sublimest  strains  that  reach 
The  Majesty  on  high. 


4  Prayer  is  the  contrite  sinner's  voice 

Returning  from  his  ways, 
While  angels  in  their  songs  rejoice, 
And  cry,  " Behold,  he  prays." 

5  Prayer  is  the  Christian's  vital  breath, 

The  Christian's  native  air, 
His  watchword  at  the  gates  of  death ; 
He  enters  heaven  with  prayer. 

6  O  Thou,  by  whom  we  come  to  God, 

The  Life,  the  Truth,  the  Way, 
The  path  of  prayer  Thyself  hast  trod  ; 
Lord,  teach  us  how  to  pray. 

James  Montgomery,  1819

2  Though  like  the  wanderer, 

The  sun  gone  down, 
Darkness  be  over  me, 

My  rest  a  stone  ; 
Yet  in  my  dreams  I'd  be 
Nearer,  my  God,  to  Thee, 

Nearer  to  Thee ! 

3  There  let  the  way  appear, 

Steps  unto  heaven : 
All  that  Thou  send'st  to  me 

In  mercy  given  : 
Angels  to  beckon  me 
Nearer,  my  God,  to  Thee, 

Nearer  to  Thee ! 


4  Then,  with  my  waking  thoughts 

Bright  with  Thy  praise, 
Out  of  my  stony  griefs 

Bethel  I'll  raise; 
So  by  my  woes  to  be 
Nearer,  my  God,  to  Thee, 

Nearer  to  Thee  ! 

5  Or  if  on  joyful  wing 

Cleaving  the  sky, 
Sun,  moon,  and  stars  forgot, 

Upwards  I  fly, 
Still  all  my  song  shall  be, 
Nearer,  my  God,  to  Thee, 

Nearer  to  Thee !

Sought  peace  and  rest ; 
Now  Thee  alone  I  seek,

More  love,  O  Christ,  to  Thee, 
More  love  to  Thee  !

Far  from  my  Father's  breast, 
Fainting  I  cry,  "Blest  Spirit,  come 
And  speed  me  to  my  rest."

My  harp  has  silent  hung : 
How  should  I  sing  a  cheerful  song 
Till  thou  inspire  my  tongue  ? 

3  My  spirit  homeward  turns, 

And  fain  would  thither  flee  : 


My  heart,  O  Zion,  droops  and  yearns 
When  I  remember  thee. 

To  thee,  to  thee  I  press, 
A  dark  and  toilsome  road  : 

When  shall  I  pass  the  wilderness, 
And  reach  the  saints'  abode  ? 

God  of  my  life,  be  near ; 

On  Thee  my  hopes  I  cast:

1  MY  God,  permit  me  not  to  be 
A  stranger  to  myself  and  Thee ; 
Amidst  a  thousand  thoughts  I  rove, 
Forgetful  of  my  highest  love. 

2  Why  should  my  passions  mix  with 

earth, 
And  thus  debase  my  heavenly  birth  ? 
Why   should    I    cleave    to    things 

below, 
And  let  my  God,  my  Saviour,  go  ? 


3  Call  me  away  from  flesh  and  sense  : 
One   sovereign   word   can   draw  me 

thence ; 
I  would  obey  the  voice  Divine, 
And  all  inferior  joys  resign. 

4  Be  earth,  with  all  her  scenes,  with- 

drawn, 
Let  noise  and  vanity  be  gone ; 
In  secret  silence  of  the  mind 
My  heaven,  and  there  my  God,  I  find.

2  Lord,  I  desire  with  Thee  to  live, 
Anew  from  day  to  day, 
In  joys  the  world  can  never  give, 
Nor  ever  take  away. 


3  Blest  Jesus,  come  and  rule  my  heart, 
And  make  me  wholly  Thine, 
That  I  may  never  more  depart, 
Nor  grieve  Thy  love  Divine. 

4  Thus,  till  my  last  expiring  breath, 
Thy  goodness  I'll  adore; 
And  when  my  frame  dissolves  in  death, 
My  soul  shall  love  Thee  more.

go, 
My  daily  labor  to  pursue ; 
Thee,  only  Thee,  resolved  to  know 
In  all  I  think,  or  speak,  or  do. 

2  The  task  Thy  wisdom  hath  assigned 

O  let  me  cheerfully  fulfil ; 
In  all  my  works  Thy  presence  find, 
And  prove  Thy  good  and  perfect 
will. 

3  Preserve  me  from  my  calling's  snare, 

And  hide  my  simple  heart  above  ; 
Above  the  thcrns  of  choking  care, 
The  gilded  baits  of  worldly  love. 


4  Thee  may  I  set  at  my  right  hand, 

Whose  eyes  mine  inmost  substance 
see, 
And  labor  on  at  Thy  command, 
And  offer  all  my  works  to  Thee. 

5  Give  me  to  bear  Thy  easy  yoke, 

And  every  moment  watch  and  pray ; 
And  still  to  things  eternal  look, 
And  hasten  to  Thy  glorious  day : 

6  For  Thee  delightfully  employ   [given, 

Whate'er  Thy  bounteous  grace  hath 
And  run  my  course  with  even  joy, 
And   closely   walk   with    Thee    to 
heaven.

2  We  ask  not,  Father,  for  repose 

Which  comes  from  outward  rest, 
If  we  may  have  through  all  life's  woes 
Thy  peace  within  our  breast :

Trusts  where  it  cannot  see, 
Deems  not  the  trial-way  too  long, 
But  leaves  the  end  with  Thee  :

Whate'er  the  outward  be, 
Till  all  life's  discipline  shall  cease, 
And  we  go  home  to  Thee.

To  leave  this  weary  road, 
And  midst  the  brotherhood  on  high 
To  be  at  home  with  God. 

2  It  is  not  death  to  close 

The  eye  long  dimmed  by  tears, 
And  wake,  in  glorious  repose 
To  spend  eternal  years. 


3  It  is  not  death  to  bear 

The  wrench  that  sets  us  free 
From  dungeon  chain,  to  breathe  the  air 
Of  boundless  liberty. 

4  It  is  not  death  to  fling 

Aside  this  sinful  dust, 
And  rise,  on  strong  exulting  wing, 
To  live  among  the  just.

When  shall  my     la  -  bors  have      an    end,      In     joy  and  peace,  and   thee  ?    A  -  men. 


2  When  shall  these  eyes  thy  heaven-built 

And  pearly  gates  behold?       [walls 
Thy  bulwarks  with  salvation  strong, 
And  streets  of  shining  gold  ? 

3  There   happier  bowers   than  Eden's 

bloom, 
Nor  sin  nor  sorrow  know : 
Blest  seats !  through  rude  and  stormy 

scenes 
I  onward  press  to  you. 

4  Why  should  I  shrink  at  pain  and  woe, 

Or  feel  at  death  dismay? 


I've  Canaan's  goodly  land  in  view, 
And  realms  of  endless  day. 

5  Apostles,  martyrs,  prophets,  there 
Around  my  Saviour  stand  ; 
And  soon  my  friends  in  Christ  below 
Will  join  the  glorious  band. 

6  Jerusalem,  my  happy  home  ! 
My  soul  still  pants  for  thee  : 
Then  shall  my  labors  have  an  end, 
When  I  thy  joys  shall  see. 

Anon,  (ascribed  to  J.  Montgomery,)  Eckington

of  1 6th  or  17th  cent.) 


352     (ST.  PAUL'S  COLLEGE) 

1  O  WHERE  shall  rest  be  found, 
Rest  for  the  weary  soul  ? 

'Twere  vain  the  ocean-depths  to  sound, 
Or  pierce  to  either  pole : 

2  The  world  can  never  give 
The  bliss  for  which  we  sigh  ; 

'Tis  not  the  whole  of  life  to  live, 
Nor  all  of  death  to  die. 

3  Beyond  this  vale  of  tears 
There  is  a  life  above, 

Unmeasured  by  the  flight  of  years, 
And  all  that  life  is  love  : 


S.  M. 


4  There  is  a  death  whose  pang 
Outlasts  the  fleeting  breath; 

O  what  eternal  horrors  hang 
Around  the  second  death  ! 

5  Lord  God  of  truth  and  grace, 
Teach  us  that  death  to  shun, 

Lest  we  be  banished  from  Thy  face, 
And  evermore  undone. 

6  Here  would  we  end  our  quest : 
Alone  are  found  in  Thee 

The  life  of  perfect  love,  the  rest 
Of  immortality.

O  could  we  make  our  doubts  remove, 
Those  gloomy  doubts  that  rise, 

And  see  the  Canaan  that  we  love 
With  unbeclouded  eyes ; 

Could  we  but  climb  where  Moses  stood, 
And  view  the  landscape  o'er,  [flood, 

Not  Jordan's  stream,  nor  death's  cold 
Should  fright  us  from  the  shore.

And  heaven,  the  heart's  true  home,  will  come  at  last. — ref.

Sing  us  sweet  fragments  of  the  songs  above ;

2  There  is  a  home  for  weary  souls, 
By  sin  and  sorrow  driven, 
When  tossed  on  life's  tempestuous 

shoals, 
Where  storms  arise  and  ocean  rolls, 
And  all  is  drear — '  tis  heaven. 


The  heart  no  longer  riven ; 
And   views   the   tempest    passing 

by, 

The     evening     shadows    quickly 

fly. 

And  all  serene  in  heaven. 


4  There     fragrant     flowers     immortal 
bloom, 
And  joys  supreme  are  given  ; 
There  rays  Divine  disperse  the  gloom  ; 
Beyond  the  confines  of  the  tomb 
Appears  the  dawn  of  heaven.

2  As  the  winged  arrow  flies 

Speedily  the  mark  to  find, 
As  the  lightning  from  the  skies 

Darts,  and  leaves  no  trace  behind, - 
Swiftly  thus  our  fleeting  days 

Bear  us  down  life's  rapid  stream 
Upward,  Lord,  our  spirits  raise, 

All  below  is  but  a  dream. 


3  Thanks  for  mercies  past  receive ; 

Pardon  of  our  sins  renew ; 
Teach  us  henceforth  how  to  live 

With  eternity  in  view  ; 
Bless  Thy  word  to  young  and  old ; 

Fill  us  with  a  Saviour's  love ; 
And  when  life's  short  tale  is  told, 

May  we  dwell  with  Thee  above.

1  O  GOD,  beneath  Thy  guiding  hand, 
Our  exiled  fathers  crossed  the  sea ; 
And  when  they  trod  the  wintry  strand, 
With  prayer  and  psalm  they  worshipped 

Thee. 

2  Thou  heard'st,  well  pleased,  the  song, 

the  prayer : 
Thy  blessing  came;  and  still  its  power 
Shall  onward,  through  all  ages,  bear 
The  memory  of  that  holy  hour.

The   God   they  trusted  guards  their 
graves.

Till  these  eternal  hills  remove, 

And  spring  adorns  the  earth  no  more.

So  hast  Thou  wrought  among  us 

The  great  things  that  we  see  ! 
For  things  that  are  we  thank  Thee, 

And  for  the  things  to  be : 
For  bright  hope  is  uplifting 

Faint  hands  and  feeble  knees, 
To  strive  beneath  Thy  blessing 

For  greater  things  than  these. 


Lead  on,  O  Love  and  Mercy, 

O  Purity  and  Power; 
Lead  on  till  peace  eternal 

Shall  close  this  battle-hour  : 
Till  all  who  prayed  and  struggled 

To  set  their  brethren  free, 
In  triumph  meet  to  praise  Thee, 

Most  Holy  Trinity.

'Neath    His    wings   protecting   hide 

you, 
Daily  manna  still  divide  you, 
God  be  with  you  till  we  meet  again,  ref. 

3  God  be  with  you  till  we  meet  again, 
When  life's  perils  thick  confound  you, 


Put  His  arms  unfailing  round  you, 
God  be  with  you  till  we  meet  again,  ref. 

4  God  be  with  you  till  we  meet  again, 
Keep  love's  banner  floating  o'er  you, 

Smite  death's  threatening  wave  before 
you, 
God  be  with  you  till  we  meet  again,  ref.
